Schools out– Now on to writing!

Well, I just finished another semester of my grad class at Nova Southeastern. Maybe now I will have a little more time for writing, both here and maybe some actual stories.

Brechalon is coming along. I should have the first draft done soon. My plan is for a publication date of 2-3-10!

Brechalon – Coming along nicely.

I’m well into chapter five of Brechalon, which is plotted to be a ten chapter book, so it looks promising for a completion before the end of the years. Then I have my choice of what to work on next– Knights of Amathar (Sequel to Princess of Amathar), Nova Dancer (Space Novel), Women of Power (Superhero Novel), or The Dark and Forbidding Land (Senta and the Steel Dragon Book 2).

Brechalon – Cover

Senta and the Steel Dragon Book 0: Brechalon is shaping up. I am more than a third of the way through it and I expect to have the rough draft finished by the end of the year. Here is a preview of the cover.

Pulling the now free doors of the cabinet open, revealed shelf after shelf of small bottles. Some of the bottles were colored glass, brown or blue, but most were clear. They were filled with liquids and powders of all colors. One small bottle on the second shelf down seemed to be calling her. It was small and blue and about half filled with a milky white liquid. She picked it up and looked carefully at it.

Senta and the Steel Dragon Book 0 – Coming Soon

Today has been 14 months that Baen Books has had Senta and the Steel Dragon book 1 for consideration, so I am sending them a message asking for an update. Regardless of whether they end up publishing it or not, I decided to write a book 0 to introduce the world and the characters. I plan to distribute this book as a free ebook, like I did with His Robot Girlfriend, and like that book, I will have a paperback version availabe.
