Latest news

First, My first anthology of Bizarro fiction has just been published today and is now available for purchase, which I am very stoked about. Every contributor to it is a fantastic writer and they all made this anthology better than I  could of hoped for. Gotta love that cover art.

Here's the link: http://www.pillhillpress.com/shoppe-static-movement.html BUY IT READ IT LOVE IT I"ve had six sales that I now of in the few short hours it's been out. Best sellers list, here I come!

second, My new novel (a hearty blend of Steampunk, Sci fi, Fantasy, and chaos) has since doubled in project size, so I've decided to break it up into a Trilogy of shorter works of about 50,000 words a piece. As of right now the first book in the series is at about 30,000 words and building quite nicely. The more I write, the more excited I am about how good the end result will be. I'm aiming for it to be done by the end of August but I could be way off on that. I was supposed to quit short fiction till I finished, but I cheated a few weeks ago and wrote a story about two workers on an ice planet who live amongst microbe native to this world that can manipulate the ice pact and begin mindlessly mimicking there surroundings in the form of increasingly of detailed ice sculptures.

third, I just got an email advertising plus sized fashion for women.

Novel Numero Dos: Part Two

I've gotten a lot of work done on my new novel in the three weeks since going on hiatus from writing short stories. Very painstakingly, I weeded through roughly twenty pages of notes and ideas I've been writing down for this over the last four or five months, and now have the entire thing outlined in full detail. It comes to the grand total of twenty-six chapters, although I'm sure that number will grow as I continue to write and new ideas for subplots come out and all the other little details of how to progress the story to where I want it to go gets worked out. It's all part of the process. It's at about eight thousand words, and at the moment I have the prologue and chapter 3 completely finished, up to the first section break of chapter two, and about a page worth of chapter one, as well as a few paragraphs here and there scattered in some of the other chapters throughout the book. Still a long way to go, but it's coming along, and I'm very proud of the work I've done so far. I said in my first post about this novel that what I had written so far was the best work I've ever done, that statement continues to be true.
