Project Update No. 2

Hello.

I am finishing up the last edits of Descent Into Madness, which releases November 3. There are a lot of things I could say about writing this novel, but the one word that comes to mind is — finally! I’ve been working on this novel for over half a decade, since the summer of 2010, and after many rewrites and revisions, I’ve finally gotten it to the place where I want it. It’s very different from my normal style - it’s a satirical fantasy in the same vein as, say, Lemony Snicket - but I couldn’t be more proud of the final product.

I’ll be posting information on how to purchase it and all that soon enough. Planning for a cover reveal around the beginning of October.

Yesterday, I finished writing a story called “The Harpoonist” and submitted it to the magazine Strange Horizons. If they decide to publish it, I’ll have to wait two months to put it up on the site, but it will be available in the magazine. Whoopee!

I’ve finished up the final edits on both Siloam and Regine. I’ve also made the decision to not make them available on the site. If you are reading this and you live far away and you want a copy, contact me. For the most part, I’ll be publishing small batches and simply giving the books away - they are short novellas, between 100-150 pages. Not really worth charging much money - if any at all.

And finally, I am working on another novella - a Southern Gothic novel called No Shade In The Shadow Of The Cross [thanks Sufjan] and the first book in the Mesonox Trilogy [formerly known as Blindsight]. I am particularly excited about both of these projects, especially the Mesonox Trilogy - I’ve been writing/planning the story for over a decade, and I am very happy with how it’s turned out. My hope is to have this one traditionally published, but as always - we’ll see what doors open.

Thanks for reading, as always.
