Welcome to 2020

It's 2020 and still no flying cars, dammit.

2019 was a year of change and distraction. I sold my house, bought another, moved twice, and had surgery on my left hand. All hosed my writing.

Oh well, I guess I will just have to write a novel set in 2020 to make up for it.

The first novel I will release this year is SHADOWS OF THE SENTINEL. Bail the Cat will return in this one. All new characters otherwise and I expect a March release. I hope the final draft will go to the editor on January 31 to make the march release date.

My other novel I plan to release this year is TIME ENOUGH. A time travel novel set in 2020.

There will also be short stories, anthologies, and collections, as usual, that will likely sneak in there.

--Wish me luck!

Hardcover

My novels are all being released in Hardcover editions!

STILL FALLING has already hit Amazon and started to sell. I am really excited about this development for some reason.

I have received a ton of requests for hardback editions. I am also very excited that libraries are now going to be able to order them.

All my titles will soon have hardcover editions.

All future titles will have them as well.

--Fun stuff!

I start writing my next book today

I took a week off after finishing the Solstice 31 Saga. Blood of the Scarecrow went to the editor last week.I have been itching to get back to work.

Today I start working on Proper Darkness.

 "There is no good lighting that is healthy and for our well being without proper darkness." --Roger van der Heide

This story is a stand alone book. I already have the entire book plotted and outlined. Today, I start putting the meat on the bones.

I've also started working on the new cover as well. For this book I worked with the talented illustrator Duncan Long to create my stories protagonist.

--I'm excited to get back to work!

Selecting a Title

I had selected a working title for my book: FALLING

A piece of advice I had received, if you are self-publishing on Kindle, was to go to Amazon and search for your title to ensure it is easy to find.

Here is the results for FALLING.

Over a hundred books with the same title and most of them seem to be bad romance novels.

Oh The Humanity.

So I am on a mission to pick a new title. Here are a few initial ideas:

• Blood and Anvils
• The Outer Ring
• The Hermitage Redoubt
• Answers Above All
• Enemies Within Us
• To The Fore
• Into The Impossible
• To Sleep After

--Let me know if you have any ideas!
