Well, the Blogging from A to Z challenge was fun, but now that it’s May it’s time to switch gears and focus on other things. I’ve got about a bazillion projects going on, so it’s definitely going to be a full month! Here’s what I hope to accomplish:
Writing
- Finish the first draft of Strangers in Flight (Sons of the Starfarers Book III).
- Revise Comrades in Hope (Sons of the Starfarers Book II) and get it ready for publication.
- Start writing Star Wanderers: Wanderlust (Part IX).
Publishing
- Finish redoing the covers for the Star Wanderers ebooks.
- Put all the Star Wanderers books on Google Play, All Romance eBooks, and DriveThru Fiction.
- Typeset The Jeremiah Chronicles and Tales of the Far Outworlds for print.
- Publish Brothers in Exile (Sons of the Starfarers Book I).
- Finalize all the print editions for Star Wanderers I-VIII.
That’s pretty much it. Some of it, like redoing the Star Wanderers covers and putting those books up on Google Play and ARe shouldn’t take more than an afternoon. Others are going to take a lot more work to fully realize.
The thing I’m most excited (and nervous!) about is getting Sons of the Starfarers ready for publication. I’ve had an awesome time writing these books so far, and I think you’re really going to love them. Brothers in Exile is with my editor right now, and I’m working with a new cover designer to come up with some awesome cover art. If all goes well, it should be out by May 15th.
In the next few days, I’m going to post some short 250 word excerpts from Brothers in Exile to give you a taste. I’ve never tried something like this before, so let me know what you think! I’ll probably post the first one tonight.
Here’s the book description:
TO WAKE A LOST GIRL FROM THE ICE, TWO BROTHERS MUST FACE AN EMPIRE.
Deep in the Far Outworlds, a derelict space station holds the bones of a long-dead people—and a beautiful young woman locked in cryofreeze. When the star-wandering brothers Isaac and Aaron find the sleeping girl, they soon realize that they are her only hope for rescue. If they don’t take her, then slavers certainly will.
With no way to revive her, they set a course for the New Pleiades in the hopes of finding someone who can help. But a storm is brewing over that region of space. After a series of brutal civil wars, the Gaian Empire has turned its sights outward. A frontier war is on the verge of breaking out, and the brothers are about to be caught in the middle of it.
They both harbor a secret, though. Somewhere else in the Outworlds is another derelict station—one that they used to call home. That secret will either bind them together or draw them apart in
SONS OF THE STARFARERS
BOOK I: BROTHERS IN EXILE
Pretty cool, huh? Keep an eye on this space over the next few days for more!
