Looking ahead Writing Projects

Today marks a landmark in my third The Sword of the Dragon novel. I passed 100,000-words! The novel is coming along beautifully with new insights into characters such as Ilfedo and Specter. The story is a bit daunting, from a writing perspective, but that is due to the loads of great story still to tell.
This novel will have been finished by the end of May and I have been seriously considering what project to accomplish next. So I have reached the conclusion that I will finish an offshoot novel to The Sword of the Dragon series. My plan is to publish The It'ren On Eiderveis River as a full-length novel this Fall. I will make it available in paperback and on Kindle.
Also, since I am planning to attend the American Christian Fiction Writers conference in September, I'm hoping to finish my science-fiction political thriller Starmist.

Awesome, I really, really can't wait to read it! Also really looking forward to the It'ren On Eiderveis River, that's a great off-shoot.

Congrats on passing the 100,000 word mark ... yes, the end is in sight!

I won't be attending the ACFW conference, but I'll probably stop by and say "hi". Adele will be attending, and we might have some other attendees staying at our house.

Cool! Looks like an awesome cover. Reminds me of a Dragonlance book cover.
