What Am I Working On?

What am I working on right now?

Well, several things, in fact. The furthest along at this time is Sparks and Tinder, a volume of short stories set in the alternate world of Fireborn, featuring both familiar characters and new ones you haven't yet met, and spanning close to two thousand years. It currently has six completed stories, and a seventh is in progress; I hope to have ten to twelve by the time I'm done with it.

Also progressing well is Soul Quest, a standalone novel set in the same world as Godthief, but not a sequel to it and sharing no characters with it. (I do have an idea for a Godthief sequel, but haven't begun it yet. I need to flesh out the idea more before I start writing it.) Soul Quest expands upon the pantheon of Godthief's world, introducing us to several more of its nineteen [remaining] gods. Soul Quest is currently in its fourth chapter.

Started, but not progressed very far yet, still in its introduction really, Across The Ocean Of Stars is a sequel to the Stardock Trilogy. Its events begin a couple of years after the peaceful resolution of the Khreetan Crisis. All is not well on Earth… but most of its events take place further from Earth than we have yet seen.

And, for something completely different, I'm revisiting Symbiosis, a standalone cyberpunk novel that I first started writing over thirty years ago. Symbiosis spent most of those thirty years metaphorically gathering dust on a shelf… and yet I never completely forgot it. Now, I think I have the tools to complete it.

Obviously none of these are going to be completed tomorrow. But rest assured I am working on them as much as time and inspiration permit, and will have them finished as soon as I can. Expect Sparks and Tinder and Soul Quest first.
