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.

Awaiting Publication

Predator: Flesh & Blood - Cowritten with Michael Jan Friedman, has a release date of September 12.
Marvel Spotlight - Walter Simonson interview, scheduled for late September release.
You Said What? - Handful of essays, scheduled for release December 10.

Smart Pop: Wonder Woman - Awaiting copy edited manuscript and release date.
The Phantom - Story for unscheduled second volume of the Moonstone prose anthology.
Media Tie-In comic book script -- Awaiting licensee to actually read the revision for one year now.

Proposals

Things that Aren’t sequel – Cowritten with Michael A. Burstein and in the hands of my esteemed collaborator.
Media Tie-In Anthology -- two pitches to editor, he’s delayed in responding.
Media Tie-In Novel -- one-page pitch to editor.
Media Tie-In non-fiction project -- just when I was giving up on it, the publisher told me today they’re still interested in seeing this long moribund proposal.
Original Fantasy -- I keep hoping to find the time to finish the outline.

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.
