Hi everybody!
I hope you all are staying warm. I'm doing fine here. I was going to connect up with a bunch of screenwriters Wednesday night. By walking in Baltimore at night with a wind chill of -6 struck me as... Well... I decided to go home and try again in a month when it's warmer.
A week from today (Feb 8 - 10), I'll be a panel guest at the Farpoint Sci Fi convention in Hunt Valley Maryland. I'm on two panels Friday afternoon. I have a book signing Saturday morning. Another panel and book signing on Sunday.
It has been a year in the making but the audiobook for The Tarden Agenda is finally done! It should appear on Audible in about 2 weeks. This means that audiobook production for book #4 in the series -- Republic and Empire -- can finally start. I expect that Isaac Boone will be the voice talent.
I am working on another space adventure novel. The working title is, The Back of Beyond. This will be another one-off book. I am about 2/3rds of the way through the 1st draft. I should have it done before Christmas. Mark Delgado has expressed interest working on the audiobook. He was the voice talent in my books, In the Image of Gods, Beyond the Galactic Core, The Silent Stars, and Platteville.
When I am done with this, I am considering two comedies. One would be about a snarky time traveler. The other might be a sequel to Platteville. This has a lot to do with how well Platteville sells. When I wrote this book I knew it would be one of those love-it or hate-it pieces. Last I checked, there were two reviews. One was good. The other wasn't. The audiobook producer laughed and laughed during the production. He wants a sequel. I just need to hear from all of you.
I'm considering doing an omnibus or two. One would have all of the stories in the In the Image of Gods universe -- two novels and six short stories, in chronological order. I would have as many as six new short stories added. Most would take place immediately after the novel Beyond the Glactic Core. I have the 1st draft of several of them done.
If I do an omnibus for the Adrift on a Sea of Stars series, my focus is really the audiobook. I think teh four novels glued together as a single uber audiobook would be a good thing. I would add a new short story or two if I have any clever plot ideas.
