Late April Edition: 'Pod Problems' and 'Tick Tock'

Thank you to everyone who's picked up 'Dirty Hearts,' I hope you all are enjoying it!

I don't have a lot to report at the moment, which is why I haven't posted lately, though I do have a few important updates.

My next short story, 'Pod Problems,' is edited and ready to go.

I've been working on the formatting, and I expect it will be released sometime at the beginning of next month. I'll announce here, of course, once it's been accepted by Amazon, but in the meantime, you can read the synopsis:

'Pod Problems' Synopsis

"Laine has trouble tolerating her housemate’s sloppy behavior until her mind is changed by the alien seed growing in her basement. Impregnated with its offspring, she finds herself desiring to grow closer to those around her, to share the master’s pleasure.

Soon, the creature in her belly is sitting on top of her housemate’s head, telling her what to do and think. Pulled into the fold, the two of them find their bodies being transformed to match the alien thoughts taking over their minds.

Two is not enough, however. More servants are needed if the master is to proliferate. A party with their friends may just be the ticket necessary to bring their master what it needs to succeed."

Tick Tock

My next novel is a story called 'Tick Tock,' all about mankind's misplaced trust in AI technology and hive drones. I have some interesting ideas to explore in this space, I'm just hoping that I can pull it off since I'm flying by the seat of my pants on this one!

Rankotech is back, and this time their technological innovations are getting away from them! (Through the wholly owned subsidiary, Bright Times Inc.)

I'm already at 30K on this novel, and I expect there will be many more chapters to go. I don't have the end of the outline finalized, so I can't point my finger at a date just yet. With any luck, I'll be ready to start editing around the end of next month, which makes for a July release date. I hope I can get it done sooner than that, but writing often takes longer than you'd think!

After that, I already have another story idea lined up. I just wish I could crank these things out faster, I have too many spaces I want to explore!
