Cover revealed for "Finding Viola: A Short Story"

I'm proud to reveal the cover for my upcoming short story, "Finding Viola," designed by the talented Ronnell D. Porter. The ebook short story should be hitting Amazon Kindle within the next week or two. It's just become available for pre-ordering, so head over to Amazon and check it out! 

News update: audiobook, short story, etc.

Summer is almost here, the sun is shining (burning, more like), and I have lots of writing news to share! I have quite a few new projects I've been working on, and I am super thrilled to finally reveal them.

First off: I am working on producing an audiobook edition of Denver and the Doolittle Raid. Although I am pretty much a print-books-only sort of person, I know lots of readers love the audiobook format, so they can look forward to this audio edition, coming around July 1st. 

Second: Yes, I am still writing my next novel. I'm presently about 50% of the way through the first draft, so it is coming along quite nicely. I cannot wait to finish the first draft and start spilling some details to you all. However, for those of you rabid readers who simply can't wait...

Third: My biggest new project of late is actually a writing project--a short story! Within a few months, my new literary short story Finding Viola will be ready for reading! Again, I am utterly thrilled to share this unique new story with all of you and can't wait to see what you think of it. Look for more info (such as a book cover drop) in the next few weeks!

Work in progress

Yes, I am still writing. I'm still here. In truth, I work furiously at times, writing half a chapter or more in a day—and I polish, edit, and brainstorm every day. However, there is simply nothing to tell. For this present time of first-draft scrawling, the end seems to be far beyond my range of view. But it will come. I promise.

(This may or may not be a hint. Yes, I did shoot this shot. No, I do not frequently shoot bull's-eyes.)

I truly cannot wait to share this project with all my readers. I have honestly come to love this story and its characters, and they've been a long time in the making, constantly developing and evolving over the course of several years. Writing persists as a work in progress, but the truly important thing is that there is progress.

My current reading list:

• The Tolkien Reader by J.R.R. Tolkien
• The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
• The Silver Chair by C.S. Lewis
• Above All Earthly Pow'rs by David F. Wells
• "Lysias on the Murder of Eratosthenes" by Lysias (an ancient Greek court speech)
• The Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald
• Moby-Dick by Herman Melville (yes, I'm still reading it)
