Done and Onward
The Soon to be Announced Project is done. At least I have delivered the manuscript today, the day it is due. I wrote more than 50% over the word count requested but we’ll see how that plays out. One of these days we’ll talk about it. I really, really, want to chat now that it’s done but I can’t without annoying my publisher.
So, now it’s time to take stock and see what irons are in the fire.

looks like great stuff. My son is in 6th grade and a science fiction fan. If you have any book signings , I'll want to be there. Seems like a highly competetive , your on top one minute and down the next proffession. Going from Dc then Marvel , your boss seemed like an AH.
