Long Term Works in Progress

A mere four or five months ago I blogged a list of long term projects in progress and, for my own edification or mental sorting of projects, I have revisited that list to evaluate where am and added a couple of possible projects. These are all collections of stories or novels which are in various stages of completeness or incompleteness, as it may be.

Officially, I've only committed to the publication of two more novels which are:

1) Gantlet Brothers: Sold Out (Due for publication within two to four weeks)
3) The Coming of Crow (Dropping sometime in 2014)

As I mentioned once before, After Coming of Crow (my 17th book) hits Amazon, I'm going to do some evaluation on my usage of time and take a look at sales figures to decide how best to approach the rest of my projects. I've been putting out two or three books a year, but because of publishing costs I may decide to scale that back to one a year, and store anything that I write in excess on my hard drive. It's possible that someday I'll run out of ideas, but for now it looks as though I'm good for the next 8-10 year. At the moment, new projects seem to suggest themselves as fast as I'm able to complete some of my long term projects, so the size of my list has not dwindled.

So here's my Long Term Projects List.  I've marked updated portions in red.
