About those counters I have in the sidebar here: In one sense they tell you (and me) how close to completion a given project is. In another sense, they're a lie. I am tracking, essentially, the progress of a first draft. A worthy achievement, but nowhere near actually done. My ...

The bad news, Sheila at DAW told me this yesterday, and she needs me to give her a ...

I don't think anyone would say I'm easy on the characters in my books. Almost all of them, in fact, are put through several flavors of hell before the end. I have noticed something lately, a developing trend in my more recent work, that has bearing on the kind of ...

I turned in the editorial revisions for Prophets today, which means that I am officially done with it. It got a bit longer which is why all the counters moved around. Next task, is a second round of editorial edits on Lilly's Song, which are relatively minor and ...

No I didn't forget about them, it's just this little old thing called revision. See, when I finish a novel and turn it into an editor, it isn't really finished. Since you all saw those counters grind to a halt I've been stuck revising Lilly's Song for Bantam, ...

My existential title crisis is over!
And and the winner is: *drumroll*
Lilly's Song

Well, since I finished up the Wolfbreed rewrite, I haven't done much writing. I guess I just needed to rest the old story muscle for a bit. Also, the next thing I'm working on is Heretic, the second book in the Apotheosis Trilogy. This means going straight from ...

Now that I finished the unscheduled spec novel (the first draft anyway) I am now in the throes of doing an editorial rewrite on Wolfbreed #1 (did I mention I need titles?) which will probably take me through mid-April (tax day, wheee). After that's done the plan is now ...

A couple of woo-hoos:First off, Anne at Bantam has given the ok to the outline I submitted for Wolfbreed #2 (titles, I need titles.) which means that I can go ahead with it as soon as I get the next DAW book out of the way. Second off, we ...
