Silence around here means one thing: I’m writing!

The last few weeks have been pretty hectic with various WiPs. So much so, that I’m creating a new category just to talk about them: works in progress.

First off, I just submitted to my great agent the first three chapters in what will hopefully be a new book series for me. Won’t say much right now, but I will say that it involves rats, magic and pirates. Yes, those foul cutthroats are still aboard my brain and running wild, so something had to be written down. I’ll take a bit of a piratey break for a few days while I turn my attention to WiP #2.

Which is . . . a fun non-fiction book on democracy for Capstone Press. No title yet (other than the Democracy Book) but I’m expecting feedback on the outline any day now. It’s going to be a fun, gag-filled comic strip look at the history of democracy around the world with a focus on the USA. A subject close to my heart, so I’m having a lot of fun with it.

And finally WiP #3, is book 2 in my graphic novel series for Orca. Book 1 was about wilderness survival and book 2 is all about skateboarding (a subject that was VERY close to my heart when I was 16 and still would be if I wasn’t afraid of breaking my neck.) I’m also waiting for feedback on the first draft of that one, which hopefully will arrive any day now.

So, with three WiPs all awaiting feedback, what does this writer do? Get started on WiP #4, of course! Absolutely no details on that yet, but there will be very soon. I just got to write them down, that’s all.
