I’m about to be a bit busy, so I thought I’d let folks know what’s going on.
I’m working on the edits for my VERY FIRST short story collection. Yes, indeed, I will have a new book coming out next spring from Walrus Publishing, a local publisher, and I’m going through edits now. I’m really excited about this because I’d been starting to think I’d never get one of these. There will be about 10 stories, a mix of previously published and never-before-published. For the moment, it’s called Gravity Box and Other Places. If all goes well, I’ll even get the cover artist I want, and I’ve already got commitments for blurbs from some terrific people.
The other thing, after that, will be the third alternate history novel in the series that is currently seeking a good home through the marvelous efforts of my agent, Jen Udden. So my winter is spoken for, as it were.
I also have every intention of publishing short fiction again. I started a new story a week ago that I think might have legs and I have a number in the hopper that need work, but dammit, I used to publish short fiction, I will do so again.
Finally, I’m beginning to formulate some ideas for exhibiting my photographs. I just finished putting together a set of new images for the upcoming Archon art show and in going through the work I’ve been doing since I went digital, I think it’s time I did something with all these besides just gaze upon them with self-satisfied pleasure.
So I have a busy fall and winter coming up. This on top of what has turned out to be a most pleasant day job at Left Bank Books.
I will post here, of course, it’s just that you may find some rather long gaps between one and the next, so I wanted to explain.
So…
