The Work-In-Progress Blog Tour

I was challenged to take part in this Work-In-Progress Blog Tour by the talented Autumn M. Birt. I am to ask you to check out the projects Autumn is working on and I do so by saying, "Coming soon from Autumn Birt..." Do yourself a treat and follow this link to Autumn's blog and books: http://www.nomapnomad.com/ww/the-work...

I am then to reveal something about my current work-in-progress. I always have several projects on the burners as inspiration and desire comes and goes in thunderous waves. Here they are:

The first is a new straight out horror novel, When the Tik-Tik Sings. It features a strong cast of characters including a female patrol officer, her firefighter lover, a nosey local reporter (who tells the tale), battling undiluted darkness in the form of a transplanted demon out of Philippine lore. Set in the gorgeous little tourist town of Dubuque, Iowa, on the Mississippi River, the fictional City Fathers are about to receive a tourist the like of which they never dreamed.

Secondly, there is the second installment in the crazy Nod Blake Mystery series. If you read my last blog, you're aware I've been wrestling with the wisdom of writing this or not. Well, I'm writing it. At least I'm plotting it, and collecting my thoughts, and rounding up the characters in my head, and jotting notes, and scribbling witty dialogue. Yeah, I'm writing it. The working title, a title it will probably not have by the time you see it, is 'Please Pass the Malice: A Nod Blake Mystery'. Let the murder and high-jinx begin!

Thirdly, The Path, a horror novel so creepy that I creeped myself out framing the story. It has been moved to the back burner until I filter the whole thing through the galls of mirth.

And finally, the screenplay for the film version of my novel Dracula's Demeter, under development at ThunderBall Films Ltd (London), and to be co-written by producer Brian L. Porter. Brian is currently hard at work casting and lining up production on the television series, Jack the Ripper: Reality and Myth, based upon his books. I'm really excited about Dracula's Demeter and am taking this time to write some really incredible visuals that I'm looking forward to bringing to the table when the time comes. It really has the potential to be an epic horror film.

That's my current Works-In-Progress.

Finally, to finish the game, I am to challenge other writers to join the tour by blogging about their works-in-progress. I do so and ask the following authors, What ya got cookin'?:
