- Summon the Thunder - Pretty much a done deal, corrections and all. Now we wait until July (or late June, depending on the bookstore).
(An excerpt from the book also appears in the back of Dave Mack's new DS9 novel Warpath.) - "First, Do No Harm" - for the Constellations anthology. Returned galley corrections to the editor on April 15th. Probably won't see this one again until it's a real book.
- S.C.E. #64: Distant Early Warning - Editor Keith DeCandido received approval from the licensor, and we're awaiting galleys and any notes from Keith.
- Things Fall Apart - Mere Anarchy: Book 1 - Turned the manuscript in to Keith on April 2nd. Received feedback from him and the other series writers on April 5th and 6th, and turned in a revised manuscript to Keith on April 12th. At last report, Keith was sending the manuscript on to the licensor for approval.
In related news, the second book, written by Mike W. Barr, is finished and we're all taking a gander at it. I hope to have some comments for the editor today. - Corps of Engineers #1: Turn the Page - Received licensor approval on April 14th, and the due date for turning in the manuscript is June 15th, so...uh...Kevin and I are working on it. Really.
- Enterprise: Mirror Universe project - a novel of approximately 50,000 words or so, with Kevin and I assisting former Enterprise staff writer/producer Mike Sussman with the writing. Manuscript is due August 1st. More on this as details firm up and it's appropriate to share info.
- Original nonSF short story - Sent to market editor on September 17th. Waiting to see if it's accepted or rejected.
- Original SF short story - For an open-call anthology. Story sent to editor January 23rd. Waiting to see if it's accepted or rejected.
- Original short story - Outlined and a partial draft is complete. I've found a market for it, so I've got reason to get it done and out the door. Yee-haw! Other stuff with deadlines are still taking priority.
- Original SF short story - I've outlined the first short story based in the "universe" of The Last World War. This one's on the back burner as I take care of projects with deadlines. More info to come as I move forward on it.
- Counterstrike: The Last World War, Book II - Proposal is still in limbo.
- Trek novel solo project - Awaiting editor feedback on proposal.
- Trek novel project with Kevin - Awaiting editor feedback on proposal.
- Tie-in project with Kevin - Kevin has created a third version of this proposal, and is still waiting on me to get off my ass and work on it myself.
- Trek tie-in project - Nothing much more than a hare-brained idea at this point, I've nevertheless written a five-page proposal for it. Not sure if it ever will see the light of day, but I figure it's good for giving the editor a laugh.
- Two articles for Star Trek Communicator magazine with Kevin - These are still on hold pending word on direction of the magazine.
- Non-fiction/non-genre article (or series of articles) for local/regional magazine or newspaper - Got some research done on it, but I still need a market. Might have found one...still need to write that query letter, once I get some breathing room....
