So many things to do so little time

The Easter holidays are nearly on us (and the Moseley clan are off to Orlando, FL, on Wednesday) and I still haven't finished "Ironmaster & Other Tales" yet![caption id="attachment_14679" align="alignleft" width="1024"][/caption]

I have been editing, although I haven't found much to reduce so far (and only a few corrections), and suspect that each chapter being a separate story has swelled the collection far larger than a more normal novel would be - at least three Novellas lurk in the text, so it will be value for money.  I've also recruited a few more beta readers to get more feedback and see if any other changes should be made.

I've also finished planning a thriller (even more commercial than Ironmaster- I hope) that mixes in a few subtle hints of pancosmic horror, that will build during the sequels until 'The stars are right' and R'lyeh rises... Which should be fun.

And I'm still working on plans for a YA post-apocalyptic series that we are currently world-building with the monthly RPG night (which is tomorrow). This month's episodes explored the Culture and society of the Techno's, Innocs, and their Space-Brothers...

The story I'm working on for it should explore concepts of alienation in a society that has hard borders and an evolving caste system that creates some interesting political tensions - and I might throw in an Alien Predator or Doom-esque escapees from Hell for a bit of light relief and action... but I really should be designing that scenario and not posting a blog update here.

On we go then...
