Current Work in Progress

Morningstar (Vast Array #2): First draft 36,100 words. A direct sequel to Plague of Locusts. Working on this and Psalms Project alternately.

I'm considering breaking Plague of Locusts into two novellas, which would become Plague of Locusts (Vast Array #1), and Belly of the Whale (Vast Array #2). If so then Morningstar would be Vast Array volumes 3 and 4, depending on how it ends up.

The Psalms Project - 30,200 words. Second draft of Part One done, working on Part Two. Shaping up to be something unique. Am enjoying it. Working on this and Morningstar alternately.

Solid Ground, new sci-fi novella (for moment), first draft, 27,100 words. This is shaping to be a novel, possibly last in the Vast Array Series (#3 or #4, or 5 and 6 depending on my approach). On hold, while I work on Morningstar and begin building groundwork which will lead to some major events events in here.

Also marketing completed work including a new short story, working on occasional devotionals, film reviews, and sometimes an article or two.
