Where the work stands as of now:
Assassin's Choice
Book 1 of a trilogy. In the midst of a nightmare 4th and 5th revision. Nightmare because I'm not only dealing with the usual revision issues, but also with a tough pov and working on elevating the language poetically.
My first novel. I most certainly could not make it easy.
Quest For Ehlarayn
Book 2 of above trilogy. Rough drafted. Not otherwise being worked on at this point so I can a) get space from it and b) can presumably finish the mind-numbing revision of A.C.
The Last Heir
Book 3. What I call my notes/building draft is done, making it ready for me to work on the rough draft. Set aside pretty much for the same reasons as Quest. Besides, once Quest and Heir are drafted, the easy part with these books is over. Their revisions promise to be as nasty to deal with as A.C., although at least I won't have to worry about the pov as much.
Stolen Priest
Novella started for several critters that have a favorite character in A.C. and wanted to see more of him. I'm taking my time on this one since it will probably go in an anthology I'm not going to do much with until at least one of the above books is published. If they get published. This one actually started off as a short story. I didn't want it to be a novel-anything, but you gotta go where the story leads you.
Music of Mists
New book. Easy book. Being written as an alternate project to A.C. because the revisions, once I get there, will be soooooooooo much easier than A.C. . . . I hope. Currently at the outlining phase
Novel Plot Building
The how-to on my NPB process. Being gradually rough drafted - I have my chapters laid out and what should be in them and am slowly setting up the foundations of the book itself. I figure once the basics are down, any additions I'm waiting on (for example, I need to finish another planned book for one of the chapters because it's outside my usual genre) will be easy to add. I hope.
Finished Stories:
» Human (4k)
» In the Blood* (3100)
» Intended (4400)
» Presence (2300)
» Like Fathers, Like Daughter (3600)
» God of Light (3200)
» This (1400)
» Into Stone** (3400)
» Promises (3500)
» Cameo (4800)
* = published; **=paid publication

No Longer Being Subbed
» Rebuilding After Rejection* (NF)
» Submitting Your Novel* (NF)
» Survive the Darkness (-)
» No Connection* (-)
» Faithful* (-)
* = published; (-)=up at Uncut (alden.nu); NF=nonfiction
Total: 5
Stories in Progress/Revision:
» A Gift of Writing
» Sayia's Price
» Where the Power Lies
» The Lies of Power
» Fallen Kingdoms
» Birth of the Phoenix
» He's Not Broken
» Ravani's Dance
Total: 9
Plus there's the bits of poetry I've been working on.
I've never thought of myself as prolific, but maybe I should start? Granted, I end up working on the same project for quite an extended length of time ("Gift" is several years old, for example, and "Sayia's Price" is even older), but I also work on a number of projects at once.
