Where is the Work heading?

The next two books, in The Bleed Chronicles, are complete. I admit to a certain visceral thrill at the prospect of attending my next convention, with a table of books (you can blame my two Hell Priest muses, for the fleshy references from here on out).

Look ma! They’ve multiplied!

                My books have.

                Multiplied that is.

                Or will they have spawned sequels?

                What’s next?

  Publication of the aforementioned books, of course, I will likely not write supporting short fiction. Although I’ve written a number of short works over the years, I’ve never been a fan of making short stories a habit. My mind is a crowded place and doesn’t easily condense down the subject matter, once I start digging. There is a spinoff series from a minor character in Bleed Chronicles Book 2, from my having researched a “cool” name. The italics represent that I mean something else, but don’t want to reveal all, just yet.

  Speaking of cats out of the bags. I mean, I was thinking it. Like I said, a “crowded place”. Full of cats evidently. I was working on a creature feature over a year ago, with the stipulation of it not having any supernatural elements. I’d written about half of it, but decided I wasn’t happy with the no supernatural caveat. So, it’s been sitting idle, while I’ve worked on other projects, but I’m thinking of revisiting it and adding those mythic elements it was missing.

It’s already spawned a spinoff too.

In summary: cats.

Just chock full of them.

Explains the plaintive nighttime yowling.

And the smell.

But that could be something else, best to blame it on more relatable, feline references then.
