Hey everyone.
In my last post, I said that I'd
tell you what I'm working on at the moment, and I do my best to be a man of my
word, so thus I present: the plan.
Now there's no reason to think this
plan won't change. I'm nothing if not easily distracted, so if a new idea
becomes shiny enough, who knows whether I'll actually stick to this or not. It's
just the reality of living up inside my braincase. However, this is my
moderately ambitious set of plans for the coming year. Want to start the decade
off strong, after all.
I will be putting out
Elemental Disturbance in early 2020. It's currently next on the editing queue
for another pass, and I've already been in contact with my cover artist. While
I can't share any actual images at the moment, I have seen the preliminary cover
for book two. She got so excited that she just made me one before I ever asked
and said "Does this work?"
And it works. I'll share it out as
soon as I can.
I also have OPA book 3 incoming. I haven't
settled on a title quite yet, but right now it's called Sovereign Malpractice.
That's written, but hasn't seen a lick of editing.
I also have a couple of novellas,
including one set in the same world as The Psychic, that are tentatively
on the list. But really, 2020 is the year of the Office of Preternatural
Affairs over here. However, I also do a lot of short stories. I have one that's
already due to come out in 1st quarter 2020 (I'll give more details
once the publisher makes the announcement.), and several more making their way
through. There's also a pretty good chance that I release another collection of
shorts at long last, so stay on the lookout for that.
And now, if you'll allow me to get
aspirational, there are a handful of things on my "I really want to do
this" list for this year as well. For starters, I'd like to take a crack
at editing an anthology. I would also really like to put out a non-fiction
title. I've resisted that for a long time, but I think there's finally
something I feel comfortable enough writing about, something I have enough
experience with that I won't feel like a complete and total fraud if I try to
act like an expert.
And in my heart of hearts, I want to
write an epic fantasy. Really badly a lot I want to write an epic fantasy. I
doubt any that I write this year would see the light of day before December,
but it's itching in my veins.
So that's my 2020 plan. What about
you? What exciting projects do you plan to tackle to start the decade off
right? Let me know so we can support each other…or drink vodka together.
Whichever reaction is appropriate.
Voss
