JUDGE OF AGES Is On Its Way! — But Not Soon
My latest manuscript, JUDGE OF AGES, has just been sent to the editor. There are a round of corrections and copyedits and galley proofs to go, but it is off my desk.
This is the third book in my ESCHATON SEQUENCE, the first two being COUNT TO A TRILLION (which used to be a big number when I wrote that book) and THE HERMETIC MILLENNIA. I am no hand at judging these things, but my guess is bookstores will see the cover of JUDGE OF AGES by 2013.
My local bookstores are not carrying COUNT TO A TRILLION. I would like to issue an order to my legion of Loyal Fan. Mom! Go out and complain to the bookstore manager! Get them to stock my wares!
The one I am working on now is called CONCUBINE VECTOR. It may suffer an name change before the end.
I am also in the last chapter of SOMEWHITHER, which is, well, call it nearly-heroic fantasy. It may turn into a trilogy. Unlike ESCHATON, I don’t have an outline written yet. If the muse flies to my aid, a year of work will not crash and snarl into an unsellable mess.
I wonder if I can sell the chapter I had to cut out for space considerations as a short story? It has a beginning, a middle, and an ending, even if it does not have all the oomph of a real short story.
