2017 plans

An Embarrassment of Riches

Yesterday, I posted about selling my novella Sapphires and Gold.

Today, there were two more contracts in my email. Sold, to Forbidden Fiction, Hidden Things (book one of The Swords of Charlemagne), and the reprint rights to From Dusk ’til Dawn.

Another list.

Well, it’s been a month, and things have been moved around. It’s been somewhat productive.

Also, we’ve had a title change. Sins of the Father is now Where Home Lies. I handed in this round of edits today, so we’ll see what happens now.  I do know that I’m taking some time off of writing (stop laughing!) to reset my brain. I’ve been going non-stop for about two and a half years now. Time for a vacation.

Why are you laughing?

Anyhow, here’s the list. And I promise that I am not starting Blood Bound yet. I’m not. Even though it does have a BDSM-loving, dead-sexy vampire (erk… sorry.)

(actually, no, I’m not.)

To Write:

    • The Sea Prince
    • The Willow Sword
    • The White Raven (sequel to Princes of Air)
    • Blood Bound

To Edit

    • Hidden Things (Swords of Charlemagne Book 1)
    • Where Home Lies (Rebel Mage 3)
    • Bonds of Blood and Steel (Sable Locks sequel)

To Outline

    • The Navigator (Steam and Screw, Book 1)
    • The Captain (Steam and Screw, Book 2)
    • Coral Throne (sequel to Sea Prince)
    • Temple of the Mysteries (maybe a shared world thing)
    • untitled Rebel Mage short
    • Holy Orders (Sequel to Heart’s Master)
    • TftA: Dead Man’s Hand (Tales from the Arena 3)
    • Golden City in the Clouds (Metropolis project)
    • Men of Mortal Seeming (An Artificer novel)
    • The Lady and the Sword (Swords of Charlemagne Book 2)
    • Ashes and Light (Swords of Charlemagne Book 3)
    • Tablets of Stone (Swords of Charlemagne Book 4)

To Sell

    • Sapphires and Gold
    • Hidden Things

Squirrels at a Rave

Have you seen that meme?

Sounds an awful lot like my writing life, actually. Now that I’m actually not on deadline, it’s time to make sense of the projects that have been in the queue for a while. So, here’s the ever-increasing To-Do list.

To Write:

    • Bonds of Blood and Steel (Sable Locks sequel)
    • The Sea Prince
    • The Willow Sword

To Edit

    • Hidden Things (Swords of Charlemagne Book 1)
    • Sins of the Father (Rebel Mage 3)

To Outline

    • Blood Bound
    • Holy Orders (Sequel to Heart’s Master)
    • The White Raven (sequel to Princes of Air)
    • The Lady and the Sword (Swords of Charlemagne Book 2)
    • Ashes and Light (Swords of Charlemagne Book 3)
    • Tablets of Stone (Swords of Charlemagne Book 4)
    • The Navigator (Steam and Screw, Book 1)
    • The Captain (Steam and Screw, Book 2)
    • Coral Throne (sequel to Sea Prince)
    • Temple of the Mysteries (maybe a shared world thing)

To Sell

    • Sapphires and Gold
    • Hidden Things

 

In addition, there’s a vague yet tantalizing idea set in the Rebel Mage universe — some small part of my brain wants to know what happens some twenty years down the line. Anything else I say on this will be spoilers for Sins of the Father, so that’s where I stop. But yeah… hrm… I wonder…
