Fiction

Yep, the characters are running the show…

fountain pen writingFirst, I’d like to thank my awesome beta readers for their valuable input. The first Vargen short story err… novelette is in the hands of the editor. I’m not set on the name yet, but the working title is Too far? We’ll see what the editor has to say. 🙂 Though I enjoyed writing the shorter story, I’m thrilled to be working on book one of the trilogy again. I’ve made a lot of changes to the structure to move the plot along faster, and hopefully keep my readers turning pages.

Based on feedback from the novelette, Cheyaron and Werner are well liked characters. I had a lot of fun writing them and now they’ve managed to steal a whole plot line for themselves in the first book. Well, the plot follows Chey, but Werner makes a few appearances. You’ll see Vargen from Cheyaron’s point of view, and Earth 2037 through Nisha’s eyes.

I’m really excited to bring my dual-world universe to readers.  I can’t say when book one will be published. The plan is to begin queries for an agent in August, right around the time Too far? is released. The short story is slated for an anthology printing in August. I should know soon if it’s been accepted and of course I’ll let you know. 🤞 Until then I have gadgets to invent, characters to chase, and timelines to tangle. Best wishes and happy reading.

with gratitude

Writing is an exercise of creation, but publishing is one of vulnerability. I am profoundly grateful to my friends, family and fans for their support and feedback. I’m also grateful to the critics–you help me stay humble and strive for better work.
