- S.C.E. #64: Distant Early Warning - Received galley proofs from ditor Keith DeCandido on May 4th, and we returned our final corrections to him on May 8th. This was originally scheduled to be a May publication in e-Book format, but it's looking more like early to mid June. Stay tuned for updates!
- Summon the Thunder - Book is due to hit stores around the last two weeks in June, depending on your local bookstore.
Two different excerpts are available: the first appears in the back of Dave Mack's new DS9 novel Warpath; a second one is also available at the Simonsays.com Star Trek books site. - "First, Do No Harm" - for the Constellations anthology. Returned galley corrections to the editor on May 12th. This one is a done deal until it shows up in stores!
- Things Fall Apart - Mere Anarchy: Book 1 - Received word just last night that CBS Licensing has approved our manuscript. We're now awaiting any other editor comments and galley proofs so we can put this one to bed.
The second and third books in the series, written respectively by Mike W. Barr and Dave Galanter, are finished and everyone involved in the series has had a chance to read them. The series is shaping up very, very nicely, if I do say so myself. - Corps of Engineers #1: Turn the Page - Due date for turning in the manuscript is June 15th. Kevin and I are hard at work on it. Honest.
- 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 SF short story - For an open-call anthology. Story is about half-done. Deadline for submissions is July 31st, so I have time, but it's competing for my attention with Turn the Page and the Mirror Universe book, and it's losing that fight at the moment.
- 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....
