Today is the first day of a new chapter in my writing life! After years of poetry and short stories I'm ready to step into full on novels. My first dip in this pond will probably be a novella. I'm not committed to that format, but the story I'm working on seems like it'll work in the 20,000 word area. If it goes above and beyond without compromising the flow of the story then so be it.
I'm actually excited about this story because I'll be stepping out of my comfort zone and attempting a romance. Well, at its core it'll be a romance but anybody who's familiar with my work will know that something sinister will keep this out of the romance section. Basically, that thing is human nature which is more frightening than any zombie or vampire could ever be. So, I'm giving myself a deadline of January 1, 2013. By then it should be written, proofread, re written, edited, and ready for consumption.
I don't talk about details of my writings and keep everything secret until completion. This is the last I'll mention this until it's time for advertising. With the Cannibal anthology coming soon and another "secret" anthology being worked on right behind it I'll have plenty to talk about in the mean time.
I'm also looking to connect with artists who can illustrate professional book covers so drop me a line if that's you!
