I Blinked

So, I blinked and 2010 is nearly over. Well, at least 1 /12th of it is over...and I've been lax about my blog-posting duties. However, I suspect that things will get a little faster and more furious around here because Pulpwork Press is beginning its 2010 releases and I'll have information to share about some of my projects and some other cool projects by other Pulpwork Press authors.

For example: Derrick Ferguson's Dillon and the Legend of the Golden Bell has just been released by Pulpwork Press and is now available at Amazon.com. Check out the press release at the Pulpwork Press Blog.

Pulpwork will be holding a Dillon and the Legend of the Golden Bell blog tour this coming week and I'll be hosting one of the stops here at the Vaults in the ruined city of Caladrex, which is deep beneath the crust of ancient Mars. Please stop in for a visit, but watch out for the tentacled, sabre-tooth vackri. Yes, you can distill the elixir of immortality from their glands but more likely they will tear you limb from limb first. And then there's the artificial intelligence known as Sved who has been known to trick, trap and slay intruders... (If you don't know what I'm talking about you haven't read my Dire Planet novels--shame on you--but that can be easily rectified by a trip to Amazon).

Speaking of Dire Planet my latest Martian novel is coming along nicely at 67,000 words. That means I'm roughly 2/3rds of the way through the first draft. I've got good news and bad news about that project, which I'll relay in the near future.
