March Wrap-Up & April Goals

Published by

on

I had grand plans for last month, but got caught up in the intersection of physical and mental health issues that reduced my productivity output to a few book reviews and way too much time playing World of Warcraft. It’s more than a bit frustrating, but I’m trying to be gentle with myself. I didn’t blow any deadlines, and I’m in a weird limbo zone where I can’t plan too much until I have a firm publication date for a book currently with my editor. The good news is that I’m feeling better and I have a lot to look forward to.

That’s not Alex! We are currently cat-sitting Denali, my mother-in-law’s meezer mix.

As my publication career evolves, I’m going to start tweaking how this monthly blog post is presented. Love it? Hate it? Let me know in the comments!


Updates & Upcoming

  • Steel Legacy (Steel Empires #7): With the editor — publication date TBD
  • Secret Project (Phase Two): First draft in progress!
  • Earth & Water (Steel Bonds #1): First draft (still) in progress! 43.5k words down, with 8 scenes left to rewrite and 14 to write
  • Other WIPs: I’ve got 4 books in the brainstorming phase, which include 3 more novels in the Steel Bonds series and another future secret project
