Favors and Fomenting Ideas

To be honest with you all, things have been a little quiet on this end lately. My last novella, Wind Chill, took a lot out of me, and I’ve been trying to get back on the ball and back to work on a new project without much success. I found a setting and premise I like, but the theme–the guts–of the story kept eluding me. Fortunately, I think it just slapped me upside the head yesterday. Now, I just need to figure out how it’ll fit…

In other news, I currently have the pleasure of reading an advance review copy of my friend and beta-reader Ben Eads’s first book, Cracked Sky. Having beta-read the novella early on, I’m quite proud of where he’s taken it, and I’ll be sharing my review here in a week or two. I may also offer Ben a guest post should he be so inclined so you can all here a little more about it.
