Currently , I’m doing a self-edit of Starstrikers in preparation for the Second Edition release next year. When I finish that, I will hand it over to my editor and she will mark it up. After all of those corrections are made, the words will be forwarded to the interior designer. At this point, the book will be reformatted and changes made to the cover to reflect the Second Edition. I will be releasing it through GB Press this time, instead of Createspace. It will have it’s own ISBN and be available to order from any bookstore as well as internet vendors.
Meanwhile, I will be coming on the Second Draft of Tyrmia, my second SF book. Tyrmia is due out next fall and will be my big release of 2010 from GB Press. I’d like to finish the second draft of Tyrmia by January of next year. This is when I plan to start writing my next Joshua Jones Mystery novel. This second installment of the programmer sleuth will be called Kill Dash Nine and should be much grittier than N_P.
With all this on my plate, I will have no time to write short stories and will be doing a minimum of blogging. My blogging goal is to write at least three posts a week both here and at the book sites of Starstrikers and Joshua Jones Mystery Novels. One article per month or every other week over at Genre Bender is about all I will be able to manage until next year.
I guess I better get back to work.
I carried my red pen with me along with the book for two weeks. Yesterday I forgot to pull the pen from my shorts and it got laundered. Totally my fault as I was doing the laundry. Total cost: two pair of shorts, my favorite regex shirt, a pair of pants and a wash cloth and two pair of underwear. *uck!
Oh well, at least summer is effectively over this year so will buy more shorts next year.
