Reaching your goal can be deadly.
When Diurnia Salvage and Transport undergoes a change in management, Captain Ishmael Horatio Wang finds himself adrift in a sea of red ink, and intrigue. He dives in only to find that he is over his head in a universe where cut-throat competition takes on an all new meaning.
What tragic price will he pay for his Owner’s Share?
For those who aren’t following the daily updates, here’s a quick run down on what’s happening.
In November I wrote book three of the Tanyth Fairport adventures – The Hermit of Lammas Wood. It’s with the editor now and is slated for a February release.
This month I’m recording. I have a lot of audio work backed up and I’m working on clearing that away as well as getting the podcast of Zypheria’s Call together.
Next month I’m writing Cape Grace – the sequel to South Coast and a prequel to Half Share. I’ve had it on my to-do list for years and it’s time I got it off.
In February, I’ll be working on whatever the next available production is. I have three books out with various editors. Ideally, I’ll get one or two of them back by then and I’ll publish whatever I have in hand. Failing that, I’ll work on paperbacks.
The plan for 2014 includes six books. I’ve got a new trilogy featuring Ishmael Wang and a new trilogy featuring a new cast of characters. You can find more details about those books at solarclipper.com.
Happy Holidays.
Well, mostly trick, I’m afraid because I’ve got no treats.
Yet.
Owner’s Share is still being edited. I’ve got the first 500 pages back but the last 250 are still out. Until they’re back – and until I can get them loaded up – we’re kinda stuck in limbo.
I’ve spent this month catching up with old stuff that I’ve owed different people, which also means nothing new for my own worlds. That situation has to stop. I need to get some new content in the pipeline even if I don’t have all the old stuff out yet. It’s a matter of mental health.
So, I’m saddling up the word processor for NaNoWriMo again this year. I’ll be writing the final book in the Tanyth Fairport trilogy in November. Yes, I’m still planning on narrating Zypheria’s Call and I’ll get The Hermit of Lammas Wood out, too, but if I don’t write something soon, I’ll just burst!
No, not really, but yeah, I’ve got to interrupt the process in progress.
Good news is that it’s the first book in the string that should see new titles in January, March, May, July, September, and next November as well.
How fast they get distributed is still under negotiation, but I spoke with a new editor at MileHighCon and … we’ll see.
In the meantime, have a joyous Samhain!
