A status report on the books:
Fortune’s Folly: I’m mostly just trying to stay calm and not freak out over the fact that it will be actually out, for real, in less than 2 months. Eeeeeeeee! (As you can see, not entirely succeeding with the calmness). I got a very nice email from my local library, and it sounds like I may be doing some sort of event there after the book is out, which would be a big thrill for me. I love libraries!
Mirable Chalice: My editor has my most recent revision now. I’m not sure if we will do another line-edit level revision before copy-edits or not.
Circus Galacticus: This is where all the action is right now. I just hit 25K on the first draft and I am really enjoying the characters and the world. Not that there aren’t days when I have to drag myself to the keyboard and spend an hour trying to write one sentence, but they are balanced by days when the words just flow out. My mind is currently chock-full of a very odd combination of stuff: the Dr Who soundtrack, random tidbits from Astronomy Cast about magnetars and strong and weak nuclear forces, ideas for alien desserts (the Chocolate Supernova! Eat it before it explodes!), and Cirque du Soleil videos (I just got Midnight Sun from Netflix and it is fabulous).
So that’s where things are at!
