NaNoWriMo

Having successfully completed my NaNoWriMo novel, Red ahead of the scheduled Nov 30 date, I can relax now and set it aside to go back to the final edits on Return of the Light. I know I have some research to do to round out Red, so it'll be marinating in the drawer until ROTL is submittable. While writing Red, I came up with a concept for a new paranormal romance, so that's percolating in the brain and will probably be set down in outline form soon. Writing-wise, it's so nice to have more ideas than time again.

WIP Progress

Return of the Light, the first book of The 'Ru Lexicon urban fantasy series, is complete and currently in the final editing stage.

The zero draft of Red, my NaNoWriMo urban fantasy novel, is complete and awaiting first-pass editing.

The Lonely Ones, the working title for a new vampire paranormal romance, is in the outline stage.

Other projects include The Vanilla Factor, a dark comedy about an accidental serial killer, is three-quarters done. Also in outline form is Incubus, an urban fantasy about a Russian man who turns his lovers into cats.
