What a three days! The Forest Green was picked up by a publisher and we have a date for the birth of our son!
Right now, I'm still wrangling my mind around the fact he'll be here soon -- three more days. It is so surreal . . .
So, yes, time to back things up a bit.
1. Signed with Alfie Dog Limited three days ago. The Forest Green is a young adult short story rooted in the paranormal.
. . . Halloween night, Jacob Strom heads out into the woods alone. Two years later, Frank breaks curfew to search for answers about his friend's disappearance. But, land keeps secrets -- so does its ghosts . . .
Will post direct link when it's up for download . . . (was the piece submitted on the 13th)
2. An hour after ending my dry streak (Hell Yeah!!!) is was time for doc visits. As over the moon as I was over being picked up by Alfie Dog, I'm simply god-smacked now. Our family will be one member larger Wednesday!
Ha, ha, two game changers in one week.
We've celebrated both, well, publication, and still wrangling with the reality of having a family . . .
'Mitch' is still being worked on -- I'm never without a project. And am happy to say more progress has been made in her journey. Honestly, in an effort to keep stress to the bare minimum, I'm a little reluctant to delve too deep into the novel. It's fraught with emotion and pitfalls. Any strong work will have to wait until the little guy is here (and, hopefully, napping).
On the other hand, there are a few more short stories on the way. And maybe some reworking a novel outline. . . . I was dared a while back to write a romance (not my forte, but not my worst either) and am still trying to iron out the plot-line for it. It's been started, and isn't bad, but it needs more life than the traditional take allows it. (Wicked Grin) A few more tweaks and it could be ready to go . . .
But, first, the new pieces, 'Mitch,' and the novella (stalled, but eager).
