Works in Progress. Eventually. Maybe.

 

Every writer that I've ever talked to keeps a file -- either mentally or physically -- of projects he or she would like to complete. It could be a themed collection of poems, an interesting character or a setting for a story, or the plot of the story itself. Personally, I do both. I jot notes down and collect them in file folders. I have dozens of plots in the pipeline ... but on these four, I've actually started the writing process.

The Four Demons

While this started life as the first Jack Madden Adventure, it will likely be the third novel released in that series. I've written about 7,000 words already and love the little monsters I've created.

The Gray Rose Hotel

Here is a return to our heroes of King Paranormal Investigations - the ghost bros. Plus Kay. I've written the intro chapter and a long conversation about "shoes on the Titanic." You'll just have to wait and see what I'm talking about. I'm 3,600 words into this one.

Cincinnati Subway

Another KPI story, actually. And yes, there is a partially-built and now-abandoned subway system running beneath the city of Cincinnati. I've written the intro chapter (with the help of a for-real pilot) and the beginning of the character introductions. I'm about 3,100 words into this one.

Fallen Harbor

Here's a pirate-versus-kraken story that I started working on way back in the olden days. It started life in 2018 as "Blood Wake" and still kicks off with my favorite intro sentence ... "Captain Alexander Lott was a son-of-a-bitch bastard in both the literal and figurative senses." 3,500 words written so far ...
