“When’s That Book Coming?” Winter 2017 Edition

What’s Upcoming

Only firm release at the moment is next month’s return to the world of Livi Talbot with Odin’s Spear:

ALL’S FAIR IN SIBLING RIVALRY AND WAR.

After nearly losing her family and her life, Olivia Talbot is trying to leave the world of artifact hunting behind. But an adrenaline junkie unsuited for a 9 to 5 job can’t hide herself forever, especially when deadly operative Dale West comes knocking with off-book work for his covert organization.

It’ll be “easy”, West says—just a trip to the museum. But a deranged former soldier is seeking to reunite the pieces of Gungnir—spear of the Norse god Odin—which is capable of starting war, and this job is much bigger than anyone has let on.

Followed by the dogged son of a tabloid mogul, competing with her archaeologist older brother, and still struggling to trust West against her better judgement, Livi will venture into an ancient underwater city in the Mediterranean to stop the dawn of a new war. But the spear of a god has plans for them all, and power not even she might be able to withstand.

More Livi! More Pru & Em! MORE WEST! Coming February 7!

Odin’s Spear is available for pre-order wherever ebooks are sold, like: Kindle US | Kindle UK | Kindle CA | Kobo | Nook | iBookstore | Smashwords

The paperback is now available on Amazon as well, if that’s your thing (and you want to read it early). ARCs and snippets have gone out to Patrons of Snark. And now I wait and hope it’s received as well as the first was. There’s some heavy stuff in this one and should probably have a trigger warning, so…trigger warning!

This is the only firm date I have at the moment, but we’re just into 2017 now–more coming next update.

 

What I’m Working On

Um, not a whole lot, I’m afraid. For the last several months, volunteer commitments have taken up so much of my time and energy, writing has dropped to a trickle. It’s not something I can keep up, so I’m trying to re-prioritize writing, because while I make about as much as I do volunteering, at least it somewhat saves my sanity instead of destroys it.

I have a little bit of Livi #3 done and some of it worked out, and I’m kind of itching to write something standalone to share with my Patrons of Snark. Rewriting Wolfe is still on my plate for this year as well, although I haven’t formally scheduled time for it yet.

 

What I’m Reading

I thought this might be a nice new addition to my quarterly state of the union.

I just finished Josh Malerman’s A House at the Bottom of a Lake. I loved his debut Bird Box, and was eager to read this new novella. It had an almost Lynchian creepiness to many of the scenes, which I enjoyed. Probably not for everyone but I found it intriguing.

I’m trying to read The Graveyard Apartment by Mariko Koike at the moment but, translated from Japanese, the dialogue doesn’t read as natural and there are niggly craft things that pull me out (which, again, is probably chalked up to translation).  I’ll keep picking at it but I have so little pleasure reading time given all the editing I do, I’m not sure how far I’ll get. As a result, I decided to pull out Christopher Fowler’s Nyctophobia to re-read.

As you can tell, I’m in the mood for horror–preferably haunted house related. Have any good recommendations? I think I might end up writing one.

 

If you haven’t read Solomon’s Seal, catch up before the second book drops! Available in print and ebook wherever books are sold.

What I’m Working On:

Writing Elis 5. Also kind of sort of writing Waverly 8.

I'm not inclined to resign to maturity.
