It wasn't so very long ago I finished the new Markhat book, which by the way will be entitled 'The Broken Bell.'
Now, I'm done with an entirely new novel. Not a super short one, either -- we're talking a hundred thousand words here. It's not a Markhat adventure. It's not even set in Rannit.
No, this is (gasp) a young adult novel called 'All the Paths of Shadow.'
But Frank, you ask. Where may I obtain, purchase, procure, and/or otherwise come to posses this new novel of which you speak?
I smile knowingly. All in good time, I say. For plans have already been laid. Deals have been struck. Dates have even been discussed (September of this year).
I'll provide all the relevant details soon -- we're talking a few days here, no more. Honestly, I'm exhausted right now, and I've still got miles to go before I sleep tonight. Have to save my energy for the manuscript I'm working on.
But I'm very excited about this new venture. YA fiction is a genre I myself still enjoy, and to be working in the field is a huge thrill. I hope to find a whole new audience.
No, I'm not stopping the Markhat series! The next one is already laid out. I'll be starting it any day now. My goal is to finish it and get it to market before the year is out.
That would be three novels in 2011.
Not bad at all, for a slow writer like me.
But man, am I tired!
