Start of summer, time to write!

The Europan Deception

Working on some advertising stuff – hoping to get an ad or two working; really haven’t had any of them “click” for me like The Martian Incident‘s auto-ad has. Again, thank you all who have already read & reviewed/rated it! Again, if you haven’t picked it up on Amazon, you can get it here.

Crush Depth

Going to finish the (second) draft, hopefully at around 96-98,000 words, and then let it sit for a few weeks. I’m really close, two short chapters to go and then it’s done. Then I’ll do a quick editing pass or two and get it off to my beta readers – I’ll give them until August to get feedback back to me.

Then, the (editing) fun begins!

The Saturn Anomaly

It’s outlined. I somehow wrote 12,000 words in the last 2 weeks on this, and I’m hoping to get to maybe 25-30,000 in June. I have a good idea of where it’s going, just need to make sure I nail character motivation and tone. I also need to start outlining the sequel…

Other Items

Hoping to start a short and continue working on some of my other stuff (Memento Vivere, The Mystios Chronicles) when I get a rare free moment. Getting back into the critique world as well – I just finished a novella and I have a couple already on my plate for this month.

Here’s to summer!
