I've decided to put together a
tentative release schedule for the next 30 days. I'm going to post
the art for the releases in this blog alongside the anticipated drop
date.
01/14/13: The Dead Astronauts. This
short story takes place on a space station, and follows my most
commonly used theme: a character in a very ordinary life (for the
time and location) and the desire to find something better. It's one
of the riskiest stories I've written, as far as setting and writing
style go, because I'm no Carl Sagan. I've taken the focus off of the
high tech elements that normally dominate the genre so I can focus on
the relationship, which is something I do know how to do.
01/20/13: Chapter Three of The House On
Bernard Street. The third installment in my second live novel. With
Christmas at Warren's mother's house looming, Aaron faces stress and
familial resentment, as well as the equally frightening threat of
Christmas at Warren's Dad's house.
01/26/13: We All Come Home Eventually.
This short story focuses on the dynamic between a man and his best
friend in the aftermath of a breakup. I'll reveal more about this
later on.
02/02/13: Our Lives In Ruin. This short
story focuses on a man and his mother living in poverty in a small
town. More details about this later as well.
Also, at some point, I plan to put up the new art for Spin The Bottle, designed to match the vintage toilet bowl spittoon Saturn rocket thing my new covers have going on. Also, A Tree In The Park and It Might Be My Mother are being taken down after the release of The Dead Astronauts for revision and expansion.
Stay tuned. I'll link to all of these
things as they occur, including any easter eggs I decide to crack
open on your collective foreheads.
Oh boy. This was really informative, but it seems like the whole thing is being written as a really boring newspaper about myself. Like Facebook, but without all the other people.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's right. It is. Welcome to my newspaper about my writing. I promise on here that you'll never have to read about me breaking up with anyone, hating drama, threatening to "kill a bitch" or witness me posting ab shots because I have nothing else to offer the world.
This blog is entirely my writing, eventually morphing into a full on third-person newspaper/newsletter.
Enjoy! :)
