As you can see from the progress bar to the right, the novella for the secret project is done. As it often happens, I overshot my word count target, but in this case I overshot it by rather a lot. I had planned for 19,000 words give or take a thousand and ended up with 27,000.
No, I can’t tell you yet what it is because I am not at liberty to spill the beans. But rest assured that I’ll share the news as soon as I can.
Now I get to take a few days off to reset the brain, and then it’s full speed ahead with the next two projects: finishing the Halley story (which you should see out this quarter), and starting the draft for Palladium Wars #5, the as-of-yet-untitled “E” novel. Because 47North passed on continuing the series, I’ll be publishing that one independently, so you should see it in the first half of this year.
I’ve also been working on some new short fiction and a few other fun projects, so stay tuned for more news and UNEXPECTED FICTION-SHAPED SURPRISES.
Thank you for the update. I will happily pre-order any of your creations when they are available. Hope you relax with some well-earned downtime.
This is awesome news! I just BINGED the Palladium Wars series, literally couldn’t put the books down until I was done with D and sat there sadly. Yay!
Very excited for Palladium Wars 5 and first half of this year – wow, way sooner than I expected!
As the Shamen said, Es are Good! Looking forward to Palladium 5 🙂
I cannot wait for Palladium 5 (Endurance, Evil Publisher, Exultant?). While I know you must finish that book, I would love to see the story of the Great War that precedes this series. Or anything else you want to write in this setting.
Great news! I hope independently publishing Palladium Wars will be successful. I’d love to see a lot more of this universe.
Your readers are very unlikely to complain about more words. Thanks for the update.
You’re a busy man! Look forward to all these projects.
Extra words are good! The book will last longer before I take a peak at the Works in Progress meter hoping for the next, next book. I’m intrigued by the secrecy. Can’t wait.
