I turned in the final edits of POINTS OF IMPACT today, so now it’s full steam ahead toward publication. (I don’t have a date for you yet, but you’ll know as soon as I do.)
That makes six novels in the last five years, which isn’t bad for a slacker like me. That reckoning is cheating a little, because I had TERMS OF ENLISTMENT finished well before I got the first novel contract in 2013. Even so, that’s a novel a year so far–still not terrible. In the future, however, I want to strive to be a two-novels-per-year sort of writer.
I’ll be pretty busy on all fronts for the rest of the year. Now that POINTS is turned in, I have to finish a few Wild Cards-related items I can’t disclose yet, and then I have to get to work on a new novel. There’s also lots of travel coming up–this weekend, I’ll be at Manticon in Minneapolis, and the week after that, I’ll be attending the Launch Pad astronomy workshop in Wyoming, to help me make the science in my science fiction a little more, uh, firm. And this summer, the wife and I are going to Europe to do some global gallivanting before we attend Worldcon in Helsinki in August. I have to say that of all the jobs I’ve ever had, this one is by far the coolest, even better than the Assistant S’mores Tester temp job right out of college.
Wonderful news, just what I hoped to read when I started looking your website ! A new novel soon-ish and then hopefully two novels a year… I’m looking forward to that. I enjoy your writing a whole lot.
I assume you’re going to take in the eclipse in August?
Just finished your latest Frontlines novel and they just keep getting better. I love them.
However (there’s always a “however” isn’t there?) I do not understand how the polychromatic camouflage is effective against a creature with no eyes! Apart from that small point everything else in your Frontlines universe hangs together very believably.
Really enjoying the Series. You write them and I will read them. No pressure though.
Happy Travels!
