Miss me?

Aside from the last post, it’s been nearly four months since I’ve written anything on this blog.


It wasn’t intentional. First, the holidays kind of got in the way. Then, I started to write another book. Next, we took our youngest son to Idaho for school. (Everything was fine this time). After that, I continued to write on the new book. And my wife and I took a few days away to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary.

So, as you can see, busy, busy, busy.


How’s the new book going? Good. Thanks for asking.


I’m nearly 70,000 words into it, so after several fits and starts with five different stories, none of which got as far as this one, I might actually finish it.


I may have mentioned this in an earlier post, but I’ve not been working on the third book of Paz’s trilogy. Rather, I’ve been working on virtually every other story. Franklin’s story, which takes place after the third book. Grandpa K’s story, which comes before Paz’s first story.


I even started a completely different book, one set in a fantasy world. I lost interest, for lack of a better description, in all of them.


This book I’m within striking distance of finishing is a story that takes place between one I will write for Paloma, and the one for Grandpa K. It combines a couple of concepts, actually, with a primary plot being how George Kirkegaard and Paloma finally get together.


The other main plot line deals with an idea I intended to make a book out of by itself. I don’t want to give too much away about it, though, so what I will say is, it deals with the legend of a man named Tuscon Sutton II, and an island he discovered, named the Isle of Use.


I’ve enjoyed writing it so far. I wouldn’t call it a great departure from what I’ve produced to date, but there are some elements which are more mature. All things being relative, though, YA, NA and older readers will not have much issues with it, I don’t think.


I don’t have a title for it yet, and I’ve not made up my mind entirely whether it will fall into the Age of Restoration series. I am leaning that direction, though, given George and Paloma are two of the main characters.


Since it’s out of sequence, I’m sure that might cause some concern with readers of the first two books, but I’ll do my best to let everyone know it comes before the final three.
