Thanks so much, Jason! I'm so glad you enjoyed the audiobook. Maria is a FANTASTIC narrator. I love working with her.
As for your question, I do not actually have a plan. I write wherever the story takes me. I'm sure I will expand into new territory, so to speak, if a storyline strikes me, but for now, I only plan to write following Detective Trann.

Hi Cristina! Sorry I missed your question! I actually don't have book funnel, but I'd love to send you an ebook file if you'd still like to review one of my books? You can email me at cyelkoth@gmail.com to request it.

Hey Marie! I'm so glad you loved Spider's Truth! The next book, Spider's Ring, is set to be released August 1st. Preorder is already up if you want to grab it so you don't forget. :)

Hi Jason,
Great question! I think a short story CAN have a sub-plot, but I don't think it needs to. The point of a short story is to be...well...short lol, so adding a lot of extra stuff in may detract from the main focus. However, it doesn't hurt if something else is going on inside the story either, as long as it's relevant to the main storyline.

Hi Jason! Thanks for the question! It's a great one.
Personally, I do a quick chart to help me keep track. One column is for the chapter, one column for which character POV it is, and one column for briefly what happens in the chapter. (If there is a scene break and change of POV, I make a whole new row for it.) If I have a lot of different characters, I often give a specific color to each one so it stands out easier when I'm looking at it.
But that's about it for me. I try to keep it as simple as possible. :)

I am currently working on a science fantasy novel of a duo-book project in the Eomix Galaxy Books entitled ILLUSION, coming out fall of 2015. Book 2, IDENTITY, should be out in 2016. I'm also working on Issue no. 4 of my comic book series, HOLLOW'S PRISM, out in spring/summer of 2015. And a children's book about Kickup the Mouse, who wants to go to Hollywood and become a kung-fun stunt double.

Go to conventions/conferences and ask questions, make sure you're telling the story the best way possible, and show others your work, even though it's super scary-- it's the only way to learn how to make your story great.

I love reading. So if I get to create stories that make others feel how I do when I read? There's nothing better than that.

Usually I give myself a break from writing for a day or two and come back to it. Either that or I work on something else for a while to give my brain a break and see if that helps.
