Work In Progress

Posted May 3, 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 headed down the home stretch.  I’ve finished reading the 600 submissions we received in January.  If you haven’t received a rejection letter from me (and you submitted between the 1st and 31st), you’re still being considered.  Maurice and I will be making final decisions in the next month.  Once we finalize the ToC, I’ll put together some behind the scenes stats for all the writers that offered their work.  The book is still scheduled to debut at WorldCon in Chicago (August 2012)

Novellas:

I turned in the apocalyptic thriller, Breaking The World, to my publisher at the end of March.  The book tells the story of a trio of atheist teenagers forced into adulthood by the end of the world.  Dragged to the armpit of Texas by their born-again parents, the teens struggle to survive a standoff between infamous cult leader David Koresh, an FBI gone mad, and the literal apocalypse.  Sound interesting?  Tentative release, Summer 2012.

Novels:

Severed Dreams needs some minor tweaking.

Short Stories and Interviews:

A Slice of Darkness Interview – Spring 2012
ProgKnostications Interview & “Ghosts in the Machine” – Shroud Magazine, Spring 2012
“Vampire Nation” – Vampires Don’t Sparkle! - Fall 2012

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).
