So here is my overdue update...

What have I been doing?

Writing.

Writing a lot. Writing every day. Writing every day for hours. Writing so much my hands and arms ache. Writing...writing...writing...

Which is a good thing considering that I am a writer and now attempting to make it a full time gig. It only makes sense that large portions of my day would be dedicated to writing.

So what am I writing?

Well, in January I finished adding approximately 20,000 words (around 80 pages) of new material to the Tor edition of FIGHTING TO SURVIVE. Just last week I received the happy news that my editor from Tor approved the revisions and the book is now on its way to the copy editor. Meanwhile, I have received the artwork concept for the cover and I really like it quite a bit. I think it goes well with the first book

Immediately after I finished the revisions, I dove into writing the first 100 pages of a new project that my agent requested. She really loved the synopsis I sent her and would like to find a home for the project. It's a futuristic horror novel with zombie-like creatures. I really love the story and so far anyone who has either read the synopsis or the first few pages has really liked it as well. I am completely in love with the two protagonist and I think my fans will love them, too. I just finished the pages she requested and I'm tweaking my synopsis to send to my agent this week.

So what am I writing now?

I am diving back into writing the sequel to THE TALE OF THE VAMPIRE BRIDE. I already had quite a lot written on the novel when I had to put it aside to work on the revisions for both the first and second book in the AS THE WORLD DIES series.

I still plan to finish my AS THE WORLD DIES UNTOLD TALES, but I have to concentrate on other projects as well.

Hopefully, now that I am a little caught up on my writing endeavors I can keep my blog updated a little more regularly.

Meanwhile, check out my updated websites. My friend (and fellow author) Kody Boye did a great job redesigning both sites.

Enjoy!
