There's one in development. I dragged my feet and got distracted by a new novel, but now I'm back on book four. Thanks for your patience!

Hi Bender,
The short answer is yes. I have the fourth and final book outlined and the first half written. The main reason you haven't seen it is because I'm really not satisfied with it. It felt static when I went back over it, so I started over from scratch.
I also took a detour (as I was getting burned out) to write a completely new book. It's finished now and with my editors, so I'm out of excuses. It’s a doozy, and a superhero book, too! Just… Not the book I should have been writing.
Thank you for being so patient. I hope it will be worth the wait.

Hi Allen,
As a matter of fact, it came out today. Head of the Dragon faced heavy delays, mostly because of a massive change in my work schedule which left me little time for writing. To make up for it, I am already deep into the fourth and final novel and hope to have it out fairly soon. I also wrote a children's book and released it this year, so things are still coming out.

Hi Allan!
I am so sorry it took this long to answer you- I guess my notifications were sent to my recycle bin. The short answer is yes. I eventually plan to combine the first six and second six novellas into two collections; Black Days and Rare Gems. I hope to have that out by this summer at the latest.

I have four different stories running at any one time. I get tired of one, I just switch gears. Failing that, X-Box and some old movies.

I get to tell stories that people all over the world are sharing. Do you have any idea how incredible it is to go online and know that stories you've told are being read in Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia?
That's pretty awesome, but the absolute best thing is that my children have all said, at one point or another, "My mommy and daddy are writers! My daddy writes books!"

I spent my entire first novel thinking that I was wasting my time. I felt like it was a stupid thing to be doing, and gave up for a month until I went back and re-read the draft. It's still the book I get the highest praise for. Write every day, even if it's terrible. Finish it. Then go back and make it better. Then go back and do it again, but remember. Finish it.

I am working on the third Gailsone novel, which may well be the last. The series has an end-point in my head and we are quickly approaching it. I may do some more one-shots here and there, but nothing like what I've been up to this year.
I'm also 40% done with a complete outlined novel that is working under the title 'Damsels!' that may or may not evolve into a series. I have an idea for a mystery series (two stories outlined so far), a western (I know. No one reads those anymore. Still.) and I've been kicking around a story idea fir a horror novel.

I have been writing books since I was six years old. I have been reading comics since I was eight. I love all kinds of stories, from the classics to contemporary, from every genre. I love good stories that are told well and with good pacing. I know what works for me and what I want in a story, and as long as I have a good scene in my head, I can build around that.

Every major story I've written for the last year has a song/soundtrack behind it. I hear a good (subjective) song that inspires a scene in my head, and I work around that. For example, in this latest run, Ifrit was inspired by Titanium by David Guetta.
