Progress Report, in which I demonstrate my sunny optimism

OK, I’ve decided.  The next novel project has been selected.  It will be (drumroll please) . . .

The Sequel!

Yes, folks, after much deliberation and consideration of sage advice, I’ve decided to write the next book in the Petra series.

I think.

I mean, I’m pretty sure that’s the way I’m going.  I poked a bit at another story idea last week, and much to my surprise, I found some signs of life.  Which is encouraging, but I still think I’m proceeding with the sequel.  Tentative title:  Petra Rising.

So for the next several months, I get to work on something completely unmarketable, unless the first book sells.  Hey, at least that takes some of the pressure off.

That’s me—ever the optimist.
