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!

We are currently aware of some site issues that were reported. These issues will hopefully be slowly resolved over the next 48-72 hours. Please contact the web master directly if you continue to experience problems over the weekend.

Well, shoot.

I hoped to have Owner’s Share ready to go today but it’s not there yet. I’ve got edits back on the first 500 pages of manuscript – that’s 2/3rds of it – but we’re still waiting on the last third. When I get it, we’ll publish the ebook as soon as possible on Kindle, Nook, Kobo, and iBook. The Apple store will lag behind by at least two weeks and probably more like four because they take forever to process stuff there.

And let me say thank you, again, to both of you who’ve purchased books on the iBook store.

Paperbacks are in process. Quarter Share is out and linked in on Amazon – finally. Half Share is on my desk and I work on marking that up while waiting for the remaining edits. It’s stupidly slow going but I can’t seem to hurry that work.

Audio work for Zypheria’s Call is hung up because there’s been too much noise around here of late. Between sump pumps, heavy equipment in the street, and just general family noise, I’m backed up on a lot of audio. ZC is only one of many pieces I need to move. I’m hoping that I’m going to be able to clear all that out by the end of October. I recognize that “hoping” isn’t “doing” but we’ll start small.

South Coast is next in line after Owner’s Share. Once that’s out – and the audio work for Zypheria’s Call is done – I can start pushing on new works.

I was going to wait until paperbacks were all in order before starting but I just can’t wait that long. If I don’t start pumping out some new work soon, I’m going to quit altogether. Grinding through this old stuff is sapping my will to live. All you people who are jonesing for paper, sorry. I’ll get it as soon as I can but my sanity requires me to do something besides grinding backlist.

I may have to co-opt NaNoWriMo and push a book out there just to get my head screwed back on. If so, I’ll apologize in advance for the delays that protect my sanity. 🙂

New works on the schedule
Book 3 of Tanyth Fairport Adventures: The Hermit of Lammas Wood. (This year if I can get my butt in gear)
Book 2 of Shaman Tales: Cape Grace (This year if I can get my butt in gear)
Three new books from the Golden Age that feature Ishmael (2014)
Three new books from the Golden Age that do not feature Ishmael (2014)

I think that’s about it for now. If you have a question that I haven’t answered, leave it in the comments and I’ll address it.
