Well, this blog's coming together a bit more now. Just some updates on current status for anyone who's interested: Since the last time I did any serious blog writing, I've now completely abandoned the book I working on.

Yeah, that was my reaction too. But Coldtouch and Dark had become so bloated, so overloaded with ideas and so unstructured as to be unworkable. So now I'm working on something new. Its provisional title is Goodspider the Mad.

It reuses a few of the better ideas from C&D, but has a different feel, a different setting, a different mythology and a different genre. With luck and a following wind, it'll be a Teen/Young Adult novel.

The feel is something odd, somewhere between steampunk and gothic horror, with a bit of Lovecraftian weirdness thrown in. I'm currently plotting the crap out of it, but it takes some doing, and this time, I'm goign to do it right. Peace SB
