So much has and hasn’t happened since last I wrote. Let’s see…

Not only did I finish all the details of my shorts, I have published them. Legend of the Boy and Unexplained are not available for purchase. You can check out My Books to learn more and to see if and or when I’ll run a promotion for them. So far, I’ve already received one consumer/reader review for Legend of the Boy. You can check My Spotlight if you want to see what was said.

After being ridiculously sick for two weeks straight, struggling to celebrate my birthday, and publishing my two shorts, I have managed to completely ignore my other WIPs, but that’s about to change. Now that things have settled again, I’m going back and looking at what I’ve already put forth for both, Solomon’s Sword and It’s Like the Full Moon, so I can wrap them up and move them along to betas…I may be in need of new betas; any suggestions?

I’ve had some snags in my collaborative project, but such is the case when working with so many people, but things seem to be coming together again. Hopefully the next time I write, I’ll have another publication announcement to make…

And as much as I try not to distract myself, I always seem to do so. A story idea came to me yesterday and I may have to pursue it, but I won’t report on it until I have either a full chapter or a complete outline.

Do you have a WIP update to share?

I’m not going to keep blaming my lack of significant progress on being busy, even though I am. Life happens and you just have to work with it. It’s not like I’m sitting around doing nothing; I’m just not doing as much as I’d like to. With that being said, I do have a bit to report on.

First, I’ve received notes and edits back for my short story project. After advice and consideration, I’ve decided to keep the short stories separate from my novella (novelette). What exactly is the word or page count for a novella or novelette?

“Unexplained” seems to a work that will be well received by general audiences and will give my fans and readers a chance to see something different from me outside of Eternal Curse and It’s Like the Full Moon. This collection contains shorts of various lengths that delve into the genres of romance, psychological thriller, paranormal, and general fiction.

The novella(?), “The Legend of the Boy” will be a little more tricky. I will have to find a way to market it to a sci-fi audience. It’s difficult to describe this piece without doing a full on promo for it, but that’s coming down the road. For now, just know that, a boy not from this world will have to save the world and destroy it in order to move the human race forward. I know it sounds crazy, but it’s good. I promise.

Second, I have done absolutely NOTHING with Solomon Sword and still haven’t finished that last chapter of Full Moon so I can do my final read through. 🙁 I was so close when I wrote my last update, but…but, (breathe- in a nice calm voice) Life happens and we just have to work with it.

Third, I’m still working on my little collaborative project with the authors I’ve interviewed. Things are moving a bit slow, which I expect, working with so many different people in different parts of the world and in different stages of their lives.

I any case, I HOPE I am able to have some of these projects finished before the holiday season.
