Goodreads asked Oren Hammerquist:

What are you currently working on?

Oren Hammerquist I am working to add some stories to my short story collection coming out in September. Many of these works are previously published, but I want to add some volume. This falls largely into the romance genre. I like to say the stories in "Love Transcends" are literary romance, not modern romance. They are love stories, not lust stories.
I have a short story coming out this month titled "Mining Chernobyl." I am working on a novel to tell the story behind that story that I am tentatively titling "Orion's Forge." This is science fiction focusing on the people surround the first galactic, human war. This is very much a social science fiction rather than hard science fiction.
Following that, it will be time to complete my thesis. The tentative title of this (a "significant work of fiction") is "A Year and a Day." This will focus on a man that puts a young teenager in the hospital following a robbery. He is released while waiting trial into the custody of the mother of that boy. Over the year, he changes his life. The title references an old requirement that a person must die within a year and a day for assault to become murder. After the man turns his life around, the boy dies.
