I’m working on a couple of videos to release with the launch of Gathering of Ghosts, Book 3 of my series–my publisher has given me a soft launch date of early October. YAY!!!

Science Fiction 3-/5

Zan wakes with amnesia into a fleet of fleshy worlds/space craft governed by a dictator trying to hold competing political forces at bay. This novel is highly creative in its setting, relationships, and politics, but I found the plot unfocussed and never really bonded with the central character.

 

The new novel is going really well. I’m making my word-count goals each day easily. Tons of fun!

 

Classic 3-/5

Smith comes to Earth and must learn how we navigate our worlds, and in the process, transforms his role multiple times. Reading this book is a part of becoming aware of the science fiction canon; however, I read it when I was very young so maybe didn’t get as much out of it as I would today. At that time, I found it didn’t engage me.

Got an Alberta Foundation for the Arts grant to write my next novel (the one I was researching in Europe), so now I have a deadline. YAY!!! I need to have a draft to a sensitivity reader and beta readers by October. It is pretty much plotted, but I have to sit down and get a draft out.
