drifting out of vacation mode

From Wikipedia Commons. One of the stars of the short story

I've been slowly starting to work again, though I won't think of myself as a full-time writer again until June 1. My arachnid attack short story is with the last proofreader, and I'm going to offer it for free to people for signing up for my mailing list. I'm also finishing proofing of Dawn of Mammals 3, and proofreaders will get it on June 1, so depending on how long each of them requires (I use 3-5 proofreaders, one after the other), I'm guessing June 15-20 will be the release date.

After that, I'm honestly not sure. I do know I'll be drafting a novel in July, but which novel? I have yet to decide. So many ideas, so little time...

Vacation!!

I'm on vacation in May, so I may be slow to respond to emails, and Dawn of Mammals 3 won't be out until June.

Terror Crane is out!

The second book in the Dawn of Mammal series, Terror Crane, is available, exclusively at Amazon (and through KU)

A time gate...
A team of teen scientists...
A desperate fight to survive....

In book 2 of Dawn of Mammals, Hannah and the kids are swept back to the Paleocene, where giant avian dinosaurs still reign as the apex predators. In a jungle world of sweltering heat, they must learn new skills to survive the swamp creatures and the dreaded Terror Crane, a half-ton bird that could snatch any one of them up with its deadly beak.

Update on writing

I am about halfway through writing a stand-alone post-apocalyptic novel and about halfway through revisions of Dawn of Mammals 3. In about a week, Dawn of Mammals 2 will be available for sale, and a month after that, Dawn of Mammals 3 will be released.

Then I'll have the stand-alone post-apocalyptic book revised and ready to release about the end of June.

This summer, I'll be splitting my writing time between finishing the Dawn of Mammals series and exploring the creation of audiobooks, starting with the Gray series. And that's as far ahead as I can plan accurately!
