A brief update from D. L. Denham about upcoming books.

I have undergone some major life changes since finishing graduate school, but I am glad to say that I am back! Back writing that is. Well actually, I never stopped. Here's what I mean...

I have struggled through three different projects since January. Literally, suffered. One was a space-action-adventure-horror series, another was a near future detective series, and the third was well, a historical fiction piece centered around Boston in the early 1700s. As you can see, my interests as well as my imagination has been all over the place. Well, after all of that extensive outlining and plotting, plus some writing -- I decided to forego those projects. I know. I know. That was such a waste of time and energy! Well, maybe not.

Through working on those projects, abandoning one after the other as they felt inadequate -- I discovered Master Sergeant Martin Delano, leader of a special operatives unit fighting a shadow war against a post-ISIS faction called The Caliphate. I won't say much more other than that this story has me excited. More excited than my first novel. More excited than completing my thesis! And I was damn excited those days!

I hope to write these stories quickly, ideally I would like the first one to be done in late August. I am undecided if I'll release these full length stories independently or drop them all at the same time. I see marketing advantage to waiting and releasing them at once.

I will do my best to update regularly. I'm also preparing for the upcoming school year. For those who don't know, I both teach and am the department head for the Social Sciences at a local high school. A rewarding job, thankfully one that affords me time to write. 

P.S.
Also, I recently finalized the Kindle and Paperback editions for With An American Pen, a history of Cotton Mather and the American Enlightenment. It's not going to receive any real marketing other than a listing on my website and where it's for sale (Amazon, Create Space). I do plan to have it turned into an audiobook later.
