I'm sorry that it's been a long time
since I've posted anything on this blog, and I wish I could tell you
that matters will improve in the near-future, but right now I'm
slap-bang in the middle of moving half-way across the country; papers
are being signed, vans hired, and all manner of crazy madness to get
my library and I to its new home. I'm very much looking forward to
all of that being over in the near future, I must admit! Still, it
will be an improvement, not least in that I will have space for a
proper office, which is going to – I hope anyway – boost my
output significantly.
I'm about twelve thousand words away
from finishing the draft of Sacred Honor right now, bang-slap in the
middle of the mayhem that leads to the conclusion, and everything is
going well so far; I expect to have it completed by next week, and
hope to have it on sale on the 22nd of this month. And
yes, this means that I decided to work on a new novel while I am
moving house, though I will be taking a month off to actually do the
move itself. There will be another Alamo, as yet with no fixed name,
that I will be working on in September; counting Sacred Honor, you
can expect to see three more Alamo books this year.
Had the first couple of reviews of
Spitfire Station, and thus far they've been pretty good – there is
going to be at least one more of those, I think, as well as at least
one of the other planned spinoff, Eagle Squadron, though with the
move dragging on, that might be a 'next year' project unless I can
squeeze it in before. More on that later, but I'm hoping that my 2015
output will be better than it has been in 2014; this year's gone
rather crazy on me, one way or another.
Once the move is completed, say by the
start of September, I'm going to take the opportunity to do a little
bit of housecleaning around here on the blog, and try and be quite a
bit more active than I have been in the past; I've got a backlog of
stuff I want to do, and I'm eager to get cracking on it, but the
novels have to come first, always, and the other free time I have
right now is all being focused on the move to the North. I'd like to
try and do a blog post every day, for starters, rather than the 'once
in a blue moon' schedule I'm managing at the moment. Many more things
afoot then, I hope, but details are to follow...hopefully soon...
