Keeping up appearances...

Well, in truth, I don't have that much to report. Not that I haven't been busy (I have), just that it seems like, busy as I am, I don't have much in the way of news. So here are the newsy bits:


  • I have finished the bulk of the translation project I was working on, and am now just finalizing edits with the author. YAY!
  • I am back to revising Traitor's Hope (the Blade's Edge sequel) on a daily basis and this makes me very happy and gives me hope that I might, just maybe, possibly, still manage to get it out before the end of October (that's going to be an incredibly tight deadline to pull and will only work if I wind up with a super cooperative newborn, but fingers and toes are crossed).
  • Shh... don't tell anyone, but I've been getting sketches from Juan Carlos Barquet and am close to having cover art for Traitor's Hope. This is INCREDIBLY EXCITING.
  • Speck (the nickname for the new human I'm incubating) could arrive at any moment now, which is both exciting and terrifying.

And that's really kind of it. I guess some of those things are pretty exciting, but it seems like I've been in this holding pattern for ages and nothing is really done yet, so I don't feel like it's lots to report. I can't wait to be done with the revision but I have a lot of work to do yet before that happens. In the meantime, I feel like I've been horribly neglecting this blog, so wanted to make sure I posted something this week. 

Furthermore I need to post more for the Victoria Marmot web serial. Which, if you haven't checked out yet, but you don't mind profanity and teenagers with a deep sense of sarcasm, you really should. The first three chapters are accessible for free, and then, for as little as $1 a month you can access as much of the serial as exists currently, which stands at 10 chapters at the moment with two more coming this month alone. 


More artwork like this is headed my way! I can't wait!!
