Clans of Kalquor 7: Alien Refuge – We are two weeks away from
release! I am getting back the edits and
am working hard on corrections (guess who forgot to run her spellchecker? Sorry, Bruce!). March 15 is nearly here.
Clan Beginnings: Clan and Conviction – I am finally seeing
the light at the end of the tunnel with the first draft. One more day’s writing should have that part
done. Even my stubborn Krijero could
hold out only for so long. I am now
hoping for a May release, if all goes well.
Nuns of Europa: Sister Katherine – Outlining is done,
first draft started. Look for this one
in the summer.
To Protect and Service: Ravenous Virtue – Over halfway through
the first draft. The first of the
trilogy inches along, but it is coming nicely.
Some things you simply don’t rush.
New Year’s Challenges
Start a new book each month:
(January) Clans of Kalquor 8: Alien Caged
– I’m about halfway through the outline.
Older heroine and an older clan facing new dangers to the Empire ...
this one is a challenge but an interesting one.
(February) Clan Beginnings: Clan and
Commitment –Finished with the plotting of Clan Rajhir’s story. Could it be that Rajhir accidentally clanned Breft?
Maybe! I’ll know more as I
outline.
(March) First Mataras: Michaela –
Started in-depth character sketches yesterday for this one. Intersex Michaela Blake is courted and won by
Clan Korkla in the face of danger. I’m
not sure how far this will extend beyond the events of Alien Rule. My muse isn’t
telling me yet.
The Couch to 5K Running Program:
Holy smokes. When I started this, I was positive I would
never see it through. I did miss out
this past week having been brutally sick in bed with a vicious sinus infection. However, I can now run for 25 minutes at a
time for almost 2 miles. I have lost 17
pounds in the process, which isn’t hurting my feelings one bit. I no longer want any of you to do me the
favor of killing me if you happen to see me jogging...that alone is a miracle. Thanks to those of you who sent
encouragement. I’m told I am now
officially a runner. Who would have
thought?
Take care, all!
So Exciting! I'm looking forward to seeing how Rivek turned out (I do love my martial artists) and of course I'm counting down to getting more of Clan Gelan.I'm trying hard to get a handle on my Kindle addiction but I fully intend to go off the wagon for you. Kalquor Forever!
ReplyDeleteGood job on your running. I'm trying to work up to being able to just walk the 7.5 mile Bloomsday run in May and that seems like painful enough. Can't imagine running it.
