Okay, I think I’m going to run a Kickstarter campaign. See, in the middle of writing RAVEN CALLS–which, like all the Walker Papers, is of course a first-person point of view story told by Joanne Walker–something happened and for the first time ever I had the urge (nearly irresistable, in fact), to lark off, change viewpoint characters, and tell somebody else’s story. Gary’s story, in fact. Not necessarily all of it, because, well, he’s 74 years old and it might take an entire series of its own to tell Gary’s…

too. many. projects.
Somehow my year-to-end project list looks something like this: – Book Race through ~50K on Walker Papers #8 – write 3 more Old Races short stories – write 1 Walker Papers short story (if you want to read it, join the mailing list) – go to New York Comic Con – Nanowrimo a book for little boys – finish “Easy Pickings” with Faith – re-revise ANGLES to agently commentary which is, oh, let’s call it 150K in the next 4 months.
