I Have an Editor!
I found an email in my inbox yesterday, from the editor that Audible has acquired for Legion. You know how, when you come home after a few days away, your dog runs around in circles and jumps all over you? Well, that’s how I felt. I’ve been looking forward to this for a long, long time. …

Contract Signed
Yeah, I’m still a little boggled. I have just finished signing a publishing contract with Audible.com for We are Legion. Wait, is it a publishing contract if it’s audio? Hmm, is there money involved? Yep. Then, yes. Excuse me, must take time to happy-dance. And, I’m back. The agreement with Audible includes access to a professional …

Housekeeping and Updates
Yeah, nothing to see here. Move along. Move along. 🙂 I’ve just been doing some rearranging of the web site. If you’re one of the three people who has ever visited, you may be momentarily confused. I haven’t been posting much lately, so here are some updates. As mentioned elsewhere, I have an agent: Ethan …

Progress Update
My agent and I have gone through several iterations of editing. I’m just finishing what I think is probably the final revision. I’ll be emailing it to him by the end of the weekend, then it’s fingers-crossed time. I was feeling a little bummed about this process, but after reading some other peoples’ experiences on …

Progress Report
Things have been moving along, albeit not as quickly or in quite the direction that I’d have liked. On the Legion front, my agent got back some constructive criticisms from an editor. Good points, and to be honest, not really surprises. I spent a good portion of the last couple of weeks editing and revising …

I now haz agent
Yeah, little bit of a curve ball in the ol’ long-term plans. I still haven’t figured out how I managed it, but I now have an agent for We are Legion. Of course, this means the schedule’s gone all bust, but c’est la vie. I am now signed with The Ethan Ellenberg Literary Agency. …

New video clip of Bob’s travels
I’ve created a new video clip from my Stellarium app, of the various Bobs’ travels through near space. This is for We are Legion. I changed Mario’s destination from GL 41, which was too far, to Beta Hydri. This works a little better with the overall timing of the novel. I’ve also reworked the app …

Done and almost done
I’ve finished writing Legion. Which is not to say, I’ll be publishing tomorrow. It means I’ve finished adding plot. Now I have to go through a couple of edit passes. I tend to use certain words too much: just, fairly, appear.. minimizing words. I see it as dry understatement, readers see it as wimpy. Sigh. …

Work continues
Update on my spaceship WIP. I’ve changed the texture and cross-section, and I think it looks a little less toy-like now. The little flying things are ship-busters. The one in the foreground is just a primitive that I didn’t delete. The novel itself is over 60k, and has gone out to a couple …
