Sleepless in Rochester

Family Stuff
The kids are home and going a little stir crazy with all the wet weather we've been getting. In order to squeeze some editing in during the day, I've allowed them to have zombie time, watching TV and playing video games. But seriously, I did have bigger plans for the week.


Monday, we traveled out to Hope Farm to meet with a couple former classmates from the UofR. The kids loved meeting all the animals: the alpacas, horses, chickens, ducks, cats, and a very woolly dog. We planned a summer get together for fellow sci-fi enthusiasts from our college days. It should be fun.


Writing
I'm still on task to finish my current WIP before May. All three of my critique groups have been very encouraging.


Editing
Two of the books I've edited for Double Dragon Publications are now available as ebooks: YVEN by Jessica McHugh and UNFAMILIAR CHRONICLES by Patrick Welch.


In July, MuseItUp Publishing will be releasing another novel I'm currently editing a science fiction/thriller, SPECTRA by Joanne Elder. In memory of her father, a World War II veteran, Joanne is donating fifty percent of all her author royalties to Alzheimer's research. 


In August, MUIP will release a historical romance, REMY by Tricia McGill.

Novels in Revision:

I'm currently revising a few things. I've polished a few picture books, and they are stewing for a bit.
