Facing the Delay
Illness delayed my writing.
More about that in my next blogpost. The good news is that I’ve begun typing again. My next novels are the post-apocalyptic sequel Facing the Storm and the third book in the Guardian Knights science fiction series, Return to Earth.
Facing the Storm
The Storm Rises, book 0 of the Solar Storm Saga by Kyle Pratt
I’ve completed over 26,000 words of Facing the Storm, or about a third of the novel. It had been scheduled for release in 2019, but now will be available sometime in 2020. I’m working hard on the story, but as yet I don’t have a release date.
In the Solar Storm Saga series Facing the Storm follows both The Storm Rises (Book 0), a 32,000-word sidequel, and the full-length novel Through the Storm (Book 1).
The series centers on two families as they deal with the very real threat of a solar storm hurtling four coronal mass ejections at the Earth. When the storm hits, mere hours later, it burns out most modern electronics and the world descends into darkness.
Return to Earth
If my health holds out I’m going to finish Return to Earth this year. That project has been started, stopped, delayed and postponed too often. I’ve written about 13,000 words of this novel and really want to see it completed this year.
Return to Earth by Kyle Pratt
As mentioned above, Return to Earth is the third book of the Guardian Knights science fiction series follows Lucas Baldwin, the young son of a powerful lord, is on his first deep-space mission. Advancing through a captured alien facility he encounters a lunatic girl about his age. Only later does he realize that the girl, Rachel, is speaking English, a long-dead language. Rachel talks of an Earth still in existence and more advanced than the horse-and-buggy world that had supposedly been destroyed.
That is my writing plan for the coming year. Let me know if you have thoughts about these, or any other of my stories, in the comment section below.
