Projects Under Construction

There are days when it feels as though there are a thousand stories I want to tell, and not enough hours in five lifetimes to get them all out. Perhaps one day someone will invent a brain interface where an artist can upload all their half-formed ideas into a database, instead of scribbling them down in fear of losing them.

Included here is a list of what's to come. This is by no means exhaustive, complete, or written in stone. Unless otherwise stated, these are very much under formation.

---

Orion, Lady of the Sea
The fantastical tale of pirates and their ship, who are actually deserters from a military naval force, and a sentient-class submarine capable of shifting to emulate any type of marine life it desires. Think "Twenty-Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" meets "2001: A Space Odyssey."  Complete with Hal saying, "I'm sorry, Dave. I can't do that." Target length- short story.

Ruxtussi
A series of science fiction novellas about Homo sapiens genetically bred and trained to be sold as "pets" for wealthy members of the intergalactic community. 

Fang & Fire
A speculative fiction story about two warrior spirits struggling to thrive in a country fighting a battle waging on two fronts. Target length- novella+.

Blood Red
A second story in Black's world, told from Jhez's point of view, with a fresh character for a co-star. Target length- another standalone novel.

The Trunk Novel: Dancing Circles
A military fantasy, set on an agrarian world. Its starring characters are a displaced successor to the family fortune, and a shifter on the down-low. Both are conscripted into service.
This is a full-blown "Chip Foose Overhaul" of a story that's been around for twenty years. Literally. In a footlocker in the corner of my living room. It's being stripped to its skeleton, reinforced, and rebuilt.

Mystery & the Beast
Speculative fiction rendition of biblical concepts from the book of Revelations, with characters interpreted as old-school, abandoned gods from various religions. Target length- novella.
