All right, I admit it. I've let the New Year's Resolution slump a little, but honestly, there hasn't been much to post about.
I'm right this very second in the midst of editing Josh Lanyon's Blind Eye Books release. As for the Ginn Hale project, I am editing part three of ten and expect to be able to release
The Rifter this fall. I am also rising from my desk periodically in order to do more laundry.
Why am I doing laundry? In preparation to go to New York on Wednesday in order to attend the Lambda Literary Awards. I shall try to remember to post at least once from the City.
And on the "author" front I have turned in the
Hell Cop 2 manuscript to Judi and Loose Id while the
Ghost Star Night manuscript has gone to be with Anne at Samhain Publishing. This leaves me time to work on my newest project: an unfinished and unsold series of linked novellas called
Ghosteye.Ghosteye started out as a short story that was slated to appear Kellie Lynch's ill-fated anthology,
Queer Magic. It follows a couple called Zane & Jim. Zane is a daytime television-loving psychic private detective and Jim is the firefighter who can't help but love Zane, no matter how weird he is. I just red the file again and realized that I really liked the characters a lot and would like to expand the stories. I concieved of two additional stories in the series-- one sequel and one prequel-- in order to expand the story into a novel-length work and started to write them. I'm halfway through both. (I write out of order.)
I've also decided to write at least one mystery set in contemporary Japan. It's possible that I could write two... depending on how much I can remember about the peculiarities of the Land of the Rising Sun.
