WRITING PROJECTS

Well-Behaved Women: Last week was brutal — for the characters. I tackled a major action sequence which resulted in several casualties that will propel the climactic third act.

The Going Rate for Penance – The editing phase has wrapped up, so now the anthology is heading into its final phases. We’ve lined up a special mystery guest to handle blurb-writing responsibilities, and then it’s a matter of formatting the book, submitting our author bios, and prepping some promotional campaigns.

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

Action Figures – Issue Eight: Crawling from the Wreckage: Fourth draft written. 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.
