Work In Progress

Posted February 1, 2012 in Blog, Breaking The World, Dark Faith, Severed Dreams

It’s been a wonderfully strange year.  Learning to write and edit with a little boy mucking about.  Pushing forward on a novel, novella, and anthology at the same time.  Here’s the inside scoop on my general state of insanity current projects:

Anthologies:

Dark Faith 2 is well underway.  I’m about a third of the way through the 600 submissions we received in January, and I’m on schedule to get everyone an answer within 90 days of submission.  May 1st is the deadline for solicited manuscripts, and we’ll be making final decisions shortly after that.  The book will debut at WorldCon in Chicago (August 2012).

Novellas:

I’m nearing a first draft on Breaking The World.  The apocalyptic book follows three atheist teenagers trapped inside the Branch Davidian Church during David Koresh’s perilous standoff with the ATF and FBI.  I’m quite pleased with the way the story is shaping up.  So much so, it’s become the first book in a series.  Tentative release, Summer 2012.

Novels:

Severed Dreams needs some minor tweaking before it heads back out.

Stage:

Despite my best efforts, I haven’t been able to squirrel away enough time to finish my interactive adaptation of Shakespeare’s greatest war story.  I’m leaving this here until it shames me into action.

Top Secret:

A pair of really cool pop culture projects that I signed away my ability to talk about (for the moment).
