Earlier this year I came to terms with the fact that I have a lot of stories to tell and comics just take too long to tell them. I mean, Newie and I have been working on Diplomatic Immunity for about five years and we just completed the first major story arc earlier this year. Not to mention how long I'm expecting the Brightest Sun to be ongoing...

With the amount of stories I'd like to tell, I figured that I'd put my college minor in creative writing to good use and start writing novels. It's been a challenge since I was coming off a 7 year writer's block but the first one has just been finished!

You know that super-secret project I've been mentioning for the better part of this year that involves Declan? Yep, this is it! To test the waters of writing prose again, I'm starting this adventure with a story that features him and his relationship with his team. I am currently waiting to receive the proof copy of the novel so I can look it over and make final edits, but I'm expecting it to be available for sale in early to mid December; right in time for Christmas!

Because November is also National Novel Writing Month, I've already jumped into writing my second book, which is a spiritual sequel to the first and features some of the same characters.

I've also got other stories planned including one delving into the ancient history of my galaxy and finally getting around to telling Firelia's story.

As always, I look forward to having some of you on this adventure with me!
