Blasts from the past

I have mentioned upon several occasions that it is my intention to complete and publish The Milk Run before the year is out. After that, I will compile Tales of the Vuduri: Year Two and publish that as well. I am only about 25 blog entries away from having a complete second year under my belt.

My goal for next year is to circle back and record Rome's Revolution as an audio book. But that won't be the end of my writing.

I have completed the outline for The Vuduri Companion which will be a compilation of short stories, excised material and so on. There are some really neat things that are going into that book. Here is the tentative Table of Contents:

Table of Contents
1. Introduction
2. The Grey Drive aka puttin’ white holes
3. Pruno Dreams
4. The Lyrics to the Moody Blues’ “I Know You’re Out There Somewhere”
5. The Freeze Dryer
6. A Night on New Earth (Silas Hiram) (Original Prologue of VIRUS 5)
7. The Deucadons
8. Lacy Henry
9. The Birth of MASAL
10. MASAL’s Last Stand
11. The First Vuduri
12. How Binoda Met Fridone
13. Skodla and The Lie
14. The Yatori
15. The Night They Recovered Rei – Rome’s Story
16. The Night They Recovered Rei – Rei’s Story (Rei’s Rescue) (Original Chapter 1 of VIRUS 5)
17. Rei’s Resurrection (Original Chapter 2 of VIRUS 5)
18. OMCOM Reprograms Himself (Original Chapter 9 of VIRUS 5)
19. Rome and Art – Salvador Dali
20. The Language Lesson and Metric Time
21. Rei’s Jokes
22. Rei Almost Gets Killed, Again
23. Rome’s Letter to Binoda in Vuduri and English
24. Rei proves time goes backwards to OMCOM
25. Rome Was Not a Virgin
26. Ramps and Guns
27. Lawlidon Arrives (Original end of Part 2, Beginning of Part 3) – Battle for the Stars
28. Rome’s Pardon
29. The Luau
30. Sussen’s Suffering

All of this is subject to change, of course.

There will be two more items that I know of. I had someone type in, by hand, the original manuscript for VIRUS 5. I will clean it up a bit but it will be the original story, more or less intact. It should be good for a laugh or two.

Finally, I am going to put into this opus the original Rome's Revolution which was the story of the Social AdjustMints and you will see the beginnings of how I came up with the Ovemrind.

I figure I'll have that book done mid-year next year. And of course, I will keep this blog going. I hope this excites you.
