Not even going to try and get into what’s happened to my reading and video game schedules – writing goals only for the month.

The Europan Deception

I’m done with the manuscript but I was hoping for more ARC reviews. Going to bug some people and see if I can’t get at least 10 in Goodreads before I open up the Amazon page for reviews (by ninja-releasing the paperback) about a week before launch.

Crush Depth

Is 10 chapters too much to ask? I think I can get from 60,000 words to 70,000-75,000 or so.

But, the goal is to get past the point of no return – the mosasauruses attacking the submarine – to the climax, where the double agent with a suicide vest holds the entire USS Arizona at risk. We’ll see how far I get. While I love how the book is going, I’m not sure I can reuse as much as I thought I was. Still on track to finish this spring/early summer.

Memento Vivere

Just hoping to get a few chapters – maybe 4? – done. It’s emotional. Given that I’m setting it in my hometown area, it’s taking a lot out of me – especially on the romance side, an area I haven’t delved into much with my other books. Still on track to get it done this year and potentially released, but it’s slow going at the moment.

Short Stories

Really need to get a new idea – didn’t like the last one. Haven’t had much success but once one hits me I’ll start it up.

Going to be a crazy April!
