I have a few works in progress right now, and I'm really excited about all of them.
- The Constellation Tournament: I finished writing this trilogy in November of 2015 and now I'm in the process of editing and getting it polished up so I can publish.
- Jurassic Manor: This short story will be appearing in "The Midnight Writers' Anthology 2016", which has the theme of "Domesticated Velociraptors". I'm also editing this work and hope to submit by the end of April.
