I am so excited about 2014. I have several great projects in the works and look forward to sharing new characters and worlds with you! One project that has been in-the-works for a decade is about to see the light of day. THAT is super exciting for me. If I just had more time or minions . . . I could really use some minions!

Definite Project Release Dates:

March 4th, 2014: Chasing the Green Fairy, the second novel in The Airship Racing Chronicles series, will be released. This novel is complete and is in the last round of edits. Cover creation begins in January with a reveal shortly after!

May 7th, 2014: For a TBA stand-alone project. This novel is also complete. It is a YA fantasy/alt history novel. The novel is currently under going editing but cover creation is already underway and OH MY GOSH! I can't wait to show the cover to you!

Planned projects:

The Airship Racing Chronicles III (I'll reveal the title when I release Green Fairy) is plotted and about 15,000 word completed. Right now I am really busy with editing the projects I mention above (and working full-time and raising a 4 and 3 year old), but I hope to complete writing this novel in May then begin the polishing process with Cat Carlson Amick, my amazing editor, for a fall release.

I have an additional Airship Racing Chronicles Novel also planned. This would be a stand-alone novel set in Lily Stargazer's world and parallel to Lily's storyline. This novel is plotted and brain-ready to write, now I just need some time . . . and minions.

The Harvesting Series

Layla is being stubborn, but I am going to try to pry her back out of my brain once The Airship Racing Chronicles works are completed. I actually have about 20,000 words of The Shadow Aspect finished and the third novel in this series plotted. I just need to limit the number of voices in my head at one time. I hope to move back into this series after I complete (well, kind of complete) Lily's story arch.

2015 Projects

My brain recently exploded with an AWESOME idea for a contemporary paranormal series. The idea is outlined, arch is plotted for two novels, but this fun protagonist needs to get in line! I'm pretty excited about this work and hope I can get to it soon!

I have other projects that I am slowly working on, including my Slavic book, but one thing at a time. One thing about the writing life, you never have enough time! Minions, I need minions!

2014 is going to be great!

 Happy New Year!!
