The Olympics Got in the Way
It’s not my fault—it’s the Olympics.
Last month I said that I would take some time off to watch the Olympics—but writing will dominate my days. It didn’t quite work out that way. Oh, I did take some time off, but writing didn’t dominate my days.
I’ve always enjoyed the bobsled, luge, skeleton, ski jumping, hockey, and snowboarding—okay, I like many of the events, but during these games my youngest son and I, both developed a keen interest in curling. The rest of the family found our interest amusing, but it really is a strategic game.
But the Winter Olympics are over now and I’m officially behind schedule on all of my writing and editing projects.
I hope to be done with a sidequel of Through the Storm by the end of March, more than a month behind schedule. In this story, I’m following Major Franklin through the same time period as Neal Evans. Into the Storm is the working title for this sidequel novella which should be released in May of this year.
The full-length sequel to Through the Storm is the other writing project I’m currently working on. This, as yet unnamed, novel will continue the plot of both the earlier books (Through the Storm & Into the Storm) and bring some of the characters together as they struggle to survive. I’m going to work very hard to have the sequel, and the sidequel, ready for release this year.
