…I’ve begun my next novel.
It’s the way it goes, you never really stand back and admire your work but rather put it aside when its done and start up something new.
While I’m not totally done with Terminus Island -I’m still waiting for the paperback proof copy of the novel to arrive- the fact is the creative aspects of that novel are pretty much finished and, therefore, its time to think about what’s next.
I started doing so and certain ideas started creeping into my head. Next thing I know, I’m putting some of those early rough ideas into a brand new Word file and I’m off and running…!
I suspect this next novel will not take place in the Corrosive Knights universe, making it the first book in many a year that is set apart from that series.
…but…
Does that mean I may be leaving the Corrosive Knights and the various characters behind?
Hard to say. I still have that one “Epilogue” story sitting in my hard drive and I do mean to one day get to it but we’ll see about that.
Further to all this, given that I’m at the very, very early stages of writing this new work and there’s little doubt it will go through a lot of changes before I’m done with the first draft, much less the final draft, it is certainly possible it might wind up tying into the Corrosive Knights universe when all is said and done.
So, for now, stay tuned!
