Autumn News
Happy Halloween (week), everybody! This month's turned out to be a bit more relaxed than expected, in terms of writing, but the work keeps going, nonetheless. My current project, noir/murder mystery "School of Whacks", has seen a chapter finish and several other hurdles cleared/gaps filled; with any luck, I should have another chapter done by the 31st--if not sooner, presuming the usual (hand)writing sprint during my monthly "No Screens Day" (set for tmrw) works its magic.

Liftoff #19!
Good evening, everyone! If any out there are miffed at the lateness of this month's post, I promise it's for a good reason--the best of all, in fact, for any writer! As of this afternoon, my latest Alternate History short story, "The Ussuri Incident", is available on Amazon Kindle! Like "One Giant Leap" (published last month), this story is set in the world of my previous AH novella…

Happy (post-)Memorial Day holiday, everyone! It's definitely happy on this end, as you can probably tell from the post title: This afternoon, my latest Alternate History short story, "One Giant Leap", was released as a Kindle ebook! Set in the timeline of my previous novella Divided Worlds: An Alternate Space Race, this work revolves around a much accelerated "Race to the Moon", with Soviet and U.S.

First Drafts ofΒ Spring
A good weekend to everybody! Guess spring really is showing itself, not just returning on a calendar, because along with the snows being gone and actual green appearing again, the "shoots" (i.e. drafts) of my current Divided Worlds short story work are rising up fast. The first, "One Giant Leap," is actually done, well ahead of schedule; with any luck, beta reading(s) will be done by the end of next week, and I can begin the cover design effort around that time, with release on KDP by no later than end of April.
