Woo-hoo! It’s almost cover art reveal time! Tricia has been busy working her magic, and you may have noticed the swanky new banner at the top of this webesite, the one that looks like this…

Tricia came up with the cameo portraits to add to the spines of the print editions, and I decided they were begging to be turned into some teaser promo images. I’m thrilled with how they came out, and I expect to slap these babies all over the internet in the coming weeks and months.

WRITING PROJECTS

Well-Behaved Women: Slow week last week, but I’m applying the “any progress is good progress” theory. Book three is close to the halfway mark.

The Going Rate for Penance – Current draft with editor for second review.

The Adventures of Strongarm & Lightfoot – book four: First draft in progress.

Action Figures – Issue Eight: Crawling from the Wreckage: Fourth draft written, and it’s gone out to some test-readers for scrutiny. Tentatively scheduled for a February/March 2019 release.

Action Figures – Issue Nine: Hell Hath No Fury: First draft in progress.

Action Figures – Issue One: Secret Origins (audiobook): Review completed, final editing in progress.
