So, again I'm finding it necessary to apologize for the radio silence. Summer's pretty busy around here between kids, the garden, getting into pickling/fermenting some of the stuff we grow, the day job...yadda yadda yadda. Anyway, in amongst all that, I'm shoehorning the work on NW as well as a new side project.

My partner in crime Brad Joyce and I have started work on a horror book. The working title right now is M, but that obviously won't be the final book title. If you missed the intro to chapter 1, you can catch it here. NW isn't going away, I promise, but you can expect slower updates at least while while Brad and I hammer out some of the kinks with M.

Anyway, I'm still plotting and outlining away on NW, and there are some cool (and not so cool) things in store for Haem, Merrick, Amelie and the rest, so I hope you'll check back as we move along. If you're into horror stuff (a la King or Barker), then keep up with M's tale as it evolves over on SFIPress.

Walt.
