Another slow week, but there is some stuff to report. Keep reading…

WRITING PROJECTS

The Adventures of Strongarm & Lightfoot – Blades of Glory: I had only one writing day this week but I managed to make the most of it. I am finally through a tough sequence and getting back into the story proper, and I’m creeping up on the 47,000 word mark. Woo!

Action Figures – Issue Seven: The Black End War: Second draft finished. Another test reader weighed in, and his main note was, “You bastard.”

Action Figures – Issue Eight: Crawling from the Wreckage: Second draft finished.

Action Figures – Issue Nine: Rough plotting in progress.

Action Figures – Issue One: Secret Origins: Audiobook recording…is almost done! My narrator has just about finished things up and is polishing the recording a bit before sending it to me for review. My goal was to have this ready for a summer release and it’s looking like I might just realize that goal.

MISC.

It’s opening weekend of Robin Hood’s Faire in North Haven, CT, so if you are in the area, come visit and see a fun show that we’ve put a lot of hard work into. In particular, come and check out my awesome fight cast! Dave, John, Amy, Phil, and Samantha have done me proud in my first foray as fight director and I expect nothing less from them than brilliance and perfection.
