My latest novel, Shutdown, has had some real ups and downs in the last year. It was slated to be released the spring of 2013, but after losing the original manuscript in a computer accident, I had to start the project from scratch. It was a little disheartening to have to do that, and I gave up on it for longer than I should have.
Thankfully, I have gotten back on board with it and am now closing in on a finish for it. Last week I managed to get 16,000 words done in four days, so with that said, I should be done writing and editing the book by the end of July. Or sooner.
The book is about a hacker, Tim "Mouse" Jones, who is hired to break into a building owned by a genetics corporation called GenCross. He is hired to steal a file from the mainframe, then upload a virus into the computer that will shut down the building's entire network and wipe all the files from its memory. But when things go wrong and Mouse finds himself trapped in the building, trying to stay out of jail isn't his only concern, he also needs to stay alive.
I have already been contacted by a few publishers about sending the manuscript to them and look forward to sending it off once it's done.
