It’s amazing how quickly life can get derailed when you move across country. In September, I moved from Southern California, where I’d spent the last 15 years of my life, to a mid-size town in Washington state, just a few miles south of the Canadian border. I went from hot, dry, and flashy, to cool, damp, and quiet.

I couldn’t love it more.

However, the move and associated life circumstances put my writing on hold for a while. But I’m back and ready to rumble! Here’s what’s currently going on now:

1: New books. They are in progress! My most recent story, Titan Rising, is out to readers right now and I am awaiting feedback for the next draft. In the meantime, I’m working on finishing a story from 2013, Europa Passage.

2: Other writing! Most of my non-fiction writing has been going up on my blog, but I’m going to republish some of it here. It’s time to centralize everything.

3: Bookmark contest. Due to the move, this got shelved, BUT. I want people to have cool bookmarks. Drop me an email with your address, and I’ll send you some, even if you didn’t officially enter the contest.

That’s all for now. More soon!
