Status Report

My wife and I have a new baby. Our second daughter, Ingrid, was born on 2/6.

Lords of Justice is still happening, and according to the publisher, Carnifex Press, it will be soon. Unfortunately, I have no further details at this time, but keep checking this site for more information.

I sold an historical ghost story based on my Paradise Ledger comic characters. This story will appear in a new magazine later this year. I'll post more details once the contracts are signed.

Speaking of the Paradise Ledger, I've seen some more pages from my artist, James Hale, and they look fantastic. This guy has a future in the comics industry. I'm hoping to have a complete first issue this year.

I've been working on a final draft of my fantasy novel. This story has been in the works for several years now, but I shelved it for a while so I could concentrate on short fiction and teaching. But it keeps calling to me, so I want to finally THE END. Of course, it's the first book in a trilogy, so the end isn't really the end, but I digress.

My writing class seemed to be a success and plans are in the works for me to do it again this fall. I saw some places where I can improve the format, and I'm looking forward to giving it another go.

Finally, I resigned from the board of Leesburg Theatre Company. LTC is in a good place now, and it's time for me to step back and concentrate on my family and on my writing. I'll still be involved with the group as a performer, but being on the administrative end of an organization is really not my thing. My best to the current board... they are doing a great job.
