Thought I’d drop a quick update here.  I’ve been posting a lot to my shoutbox on the forum, but didn’t add anything to the blog.

First, this year’s Magic of the Wood story is still moving.  I hit some roadblocks here and there, which is why an Earth Day story is going to come out so late, but it will come out.  I just cleared another hurdle that I think may be the final one.  We’ll see, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

Jackin’ Jill Pt. 2 is also in progress.  Once I get past the transition chapter between the two parts, there’s a lot of the story that’s already written.  I’ve only had it on hold while I work on the Wood story and some contest stories as RR.

As always, I’m musing and tinkering with SOTM.  I know it’s been forever and a day since I posted a new chapter, but know that it’s always on my mind.  It haunts me to have the story sitting there unfinished.  It’s always heart-wrenching to write, though.  Combine that with a critical juncture in the story, and it’s doubly hard.

If you check my forum post about history brainstorming, you’ll see that I’m working on stories in the Nobles by Deed series, focusing on characters who have barely been mentioned — Saggitariad and his wife.

I know I’ve mentioned this here, but I also have a solid framework for the sequel to Blackhawk Hall in place.

Thought I’d drop a line, and hope to be coming back to the blog soon to announce the release of “Blessing of the Wood” and “Jackin’ Jill Pt. 2”
