Works In Progress

I have a few things in the pipeline, so I decided to get a jump on the old Blog in preparación for the day when they are finished. 

I will be self publishing for the most part but I also have been writing short stories for submission to Fringeworks(@fringeworks on twitter and their blog). They are a small independent publisher with some really great upcoming titles. Their "Moriarty Paradigm" series takes Sherlock Holmes into a parallel steampunk universe created by Moriarity and my steampunk hero, Jonathan Green, is contributing a book to the series called "The Curse of the Baskervilles".

I have already submitted a short story ("Immaculate Revolution") for their collection entitled "Andromeda's Offspring" which will offer Sci-fi with a strong female protagonist. My piece was just under 6,000 words and I will probably offer a sneaky little excerpt of it in the near future. 

I am finishing up a shorter story(1,500 words) for their collection entitled "Tiki". My story is about a Hawaiian girl with a cursed name and how her mother prays to Tiki idols for protection. Its working title is "12 Tiki Idols".

I'll let you know if either of them are accepted for inclusion in their anthologies.

And then, a novel I have been developing, which will give me a universe to play with for future titles is a steampunk sequel to "War of the Worlds" by HG Wells. I know I know, it's been done like a million times but I think I have some unique stories to MASH up in the ensuing altverse.   

So, watch this space for announcements, excerpts etc etc.
