Irons in the Fire

Phew! July! That sure was a month, wasn’t it?

You can check out my progress here (sorry, I think it requires a login).

I finally finished Charming Lies, not just one more draft or some other milestone, but really the whole thing. It’s with my agent, where it will remain until she either sells New Frontiers or until January 2016. I actually like Charming Lies a lot, but what I don’t like is the process by which I wrote it, six months late and with hours of agonizing indecision. No more pantsing for me!

The next project coming down the chute is Junction, which will hopefully have a first draft done by January and a final draft ready by this time next year. That all depends on whether I can figure out how to more efficiently write and outline.

I’ve also got Petrolea (novella) and Lords of the Earth (short story) out and looking for homes. My goal this year is to have my name out there on SOMETHING, who cares what.

And further to that goal, I’m hereby officially announcing my plans to get back into self-publishing with Tyrannosaur Queen in December. I’ve got a checklist and everything.

And if you want more updates, why not sign up to my new-as-of-yesterday mailing list? Eh? Ehhh???

August is going to see my output drop a bit,  though, since we’re going to have another baby
