I recently finished a section of my fantasy novel, Through the Groaning Earth, and though I've still got a few portions to write to complete the entire novel it's currently sitting at a fairly respectable 98,000 words.In the meantime, I've taken a break to get a couple or three smaller writing projects written and off to the respective publishers that are waiting for them.
The first of these is a collaborative project for me--a Western tale for an anthology being edited by Russ Anderson. I'm working on this with artist, designer, and creative savant Damon Orrell who has provided me with quite a bit of background research that he's done.
The tale involves the meeting of historical figures Lone Crow and Wyatt Earp during Earp's tenure as the barkeep for the Alaska Trading Company in Nome and while Crow was in the employ of Miskatonic University in search of a professor who went missing while researching a pre-Tlinget civilization uncovered near Lake Bennett, about 50 miles from Skaguay, Alaska.
I'm hoping to wrap up a draft of it this long Thanksgiving day weekend.
