I haven’t updated this blog since I released Boneyard back in May.

In that time, I’ve written half a dozen blog posts and then deleted them. I’ve written about the controversies in the m/m genre, about the tragedy of the Orlando shooting, about religion, about books and writing and sexual identities and the struggles of trying to make it as a writer while still working a full time job and getting about 45 minutes a day to work on my books.

I deleted them all cause I’m just not really in a good headspace right now and I’m not sure sharing so much online is a good idea, especially for someone trying to keep their private and personal lives separate.

So here’s my update:

I’m writing, as much as I can. I have one completed novel with my editor, and I hope to release it by November 1st. It has a working name, but the title is likely to change. It’s about werewolves.

I’m well into Hidebound, Thaumaturge #3. But I work slowly, as you know by now, and I don’t anticipate this seeing publication until spring 2017, at the earliest.

I have a ghost story that I’m working on.

I have several Thaumaturge shorts that I really want to finish and publish, and I plan to as soon as I get a big block of time to work on them.

I have a time travel novella that I’m working on.

I’ve got a contemporary romance outlined, but it’s on the back burner until later.

I have one completed fantasy m/m novel that, fingers crossed, will get a second draft and some edits and maybe some day see the light of day.

I have a futuristic vampire dystopian short, the first of a new series, that needs massive edits.

I have a dozen or so other outlines and ideas, but I have very time to develop them.

I’m not a fast writer. I have a busy, messy life. I try really hard to get words and edits in every day, but between work, Crossfit, my son and my family, my time is limited. I spent a lot of time horseback riding this summer, which gave me a lot of time to dream. My plot bunny closet is full. I just need time to develop and edit and write.

Thanks for my reading my books, guys. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it. I promise I’m working, just slowly. Thanks for hanging in there with me.
