I’m doing another short horror story for my planned anthology today, and to help keep the grey matter pumping, I’ve got a special treat by my side.
These are delicious. Yes I know they’re pure sugar and useless calories but I’m writing and brain cells use calories too y’know.
Now that Floxham Island ~ Sinclair V-Log AZ267/M is out, I can turn my attentions to my next two works in progress.
I have the novel I wrote for NaNoWriMo 2012, Acts of Life to edit and proof read ready for publication in July 2013 and I’ve just begun writing a new novel featuring Sam Sinclair from Floxham Island.
Acts of life will be first of these projects you will see and features Jake, a famous movie star who agrees to work aboard an inter galactic freighter for three months as research for his latest movie role. Events quickly take an unexpected turn and Jake finds himself and his new friends, stranded on a dangerous and uninhabited planet. In a desperate fight for survival, not only from the indigenous life of the planet, Jake and his companions must also avoid capture by those intent on doing him harm.
The new Sam Sinclair novel, as yet untitled, sees Sam go undercover to find out the cause of seven mysterious deaths. In the process he gains, and then loses, a great friend whose legacy ensures he finds an important ally in the future.
I’ve decided upon my plot line for this year’s NaNoWriMo, which will be published sometime in 2014. This story is an epic quest involving a race across planets to save not only the protagonist’s true love, but also to save an entire planet from annihilating themselves in an unnecessary war.
Lastly for this year’s writing plans, I have ten short horror stories to write that will complete my planned horror anthology and hope to get it published this year.
I always like to have plots planned for a couple of books ahead as I have this dread of finishing a current WIP and then not finding another plot to work on. Hopefully, by the end of 2013 I’ll have eight books under my belt.
