J.L. Forrest
As of December 2014, these projects are on the burner:
* Obviously, _Delicate Ministrations_ just published. I'm still one hundred percent behind these stories, hoping to grow the book's sales and leverage them toward some awards through the coming year.
* I'm editing an anthology of short stories around the theme of *Alien Abduction*. Nine authors are contributing to the collection, and I expect we should see these in print (and eBook) by early spring 2015.
* A novel, _A Requiem Dawn_, is in its final stages of prepress. It should appear sometime in January or February. I feel confident of the book's literary merit, as well as its power as a science-fiction novel.
* I'm in the second draft of another novel, _St01en Daughters_, which I should have wrapped up and refined by fall 2015.
* And I'm always writing short stories. A new work is on my website now, and I'm also working on a series centered around a single character: Molly Black. Think modern-steampunk Cthulhuesque Sherlock Holmes, only she's a gifted young woman whose enemies also include the Old Ones and other denizens of the supernatural. The first Molly Black story, "Molly Black and the Visitation of Mr. Griff", appears in _Delicate Ministrations_. The Molly stories are for adults, not YA, but I imagine there're a lot of YA readers who will love them anyway. Sensitive parental units, be warned.
