2024 Update

 I don't do resolutions as they don't seem to last past the month. But I do make short-term goals for my writing.  This year I'm going to concentrate on Kindle Vella. It's Amazon's serial story platform. You write episodes (chapters) that people pay tokens to read. The first 3 episodes are free to see if you are interested then you pay various token amounts for episodes according to word length. I have 7 stories up on Vella including a couple of sci-fi adventure/ romances. If you want to try it out here is the link to   Under an Alien Sun                   

However I haven't forgotten this. 

This book is still in the queue at #5. However I may do it on Vella which may get it out sooner. Or it may delay it further. I just don't know yet. But I ain't givin' up on this book being written.

Once a book is completed on Vella it can be published as a whole. It may be 2026 by then for this one, depending on how flowing and cooperative my muse is going to be with all this. But this book will be written cause it's near and dear to my heart.  Most of my stories are.

First book of the Alliance series.

What is the Alliance?

It is a conglomerate of 5 races that occupy a section of space that includes over 50 star systems. It is run by The Regent through his Nein.

In this book the first human Nein (Fiona) introduces the Alliance to the human Federation. The humans are not pleased that they are not the top of the food chain any more, that their laws mean nothing in the Alliance, and that they can't just take over the whole thing.

Humans are not the good guys in these books. Not all of them are bad, but humans didn't leave their prejudices behind when they went into space, just transferred them. If you are within a certain degree of human you are golden, but if not...well, expect to be exploited and considered third class.


Have those 4 books to write before this one comes up. 

Unless the story jumps the line. Which could happen. My Muse is so fickle.

Mid 2023 Update

 Haven't forgotten this. 

I've started Kindle Vella. It's Amazon's serial story platform. You write episodes (chapters) that people pay tokens to read. The first 3 episodes are free to see if you are interested then you pay various token amounts for episodes according to word length. 200 tokens are $1.99 and equal about 8 episodes.  I have 4 stories up including Bone Whisperer, my WIP. If you want to try it out here is the link to Bone Whisperer

2023 Update

Haven't forgotten this. 

Still in the queue, but working on the five books ahead of it. When they are done both this book and the next dragon book will be up. It may be 2026 by then, depending on how flowing these other books are. But this book will be written.

Update

 As you can see I updated and changed the blog around a bit.

If you're wandering about the multi-colored globe it's a Courier, a small fast ship that the Alliance uses for personnel transport. The Alliance does have transporters, but they are only for non-living item use. Pattern buffeting is easier with inanimate objects. No fatal 'accidents'.


Enmity is in the queue for 2025. However that is contingent on how fast I get the other books done that are in the queue before it. If I finish them quicker, then Enmity will be out sooner.

My plot bunnies keep throwing things at me and I note the ideas down in my journal. But I do write a few words in Enmity every so often when a bit flashes through my brain.

First Book of the Alliance

 

This will be the first book.

I plan to have it out by 2025. I'm trying to get the second books of my other series out before I start on book 1 of the Alliance and the Song Saga series. 

My plot bunnies won't leave me alone long enough for me to work continuously on Enmity and Last Song. 

But they will be written.
