Good morning to all, and Happy New Year! I hope you've all been able to enjoy a wonderful holiday season with your friends and families, and that you're all ready to get a new year off to a great start. I certainly am! For me, 2012 is already promising to be a busy, eventful, and exciting year that I look forward to experiencing.
Since we're still in the 'kick-off' phase of the year, here are a few announcements you may be interested in:
Chapter 16 of Falls the Shadow is up and ready to read on The Lost Scribes. Even a surprise celebration dinner at the library isn't quite enough to alleviate the tensions and Libby's growing anxiety... but the lure of a new discovery in one of the excavation tunnels might do the trick. Click Here to read Chapter 16.
The entries from the Christmas Writing Exposition are posted and available to read, if you haven't already. Just click on the "Writing Exposition" page at the top of this page.
Some of you are aware that I write book reviews for several different publishing houses and book retailers. Part of that agreement is that I post my review on my blog as well as other sites, but I've found that I'm not always able to tie a given book review in with the speculative fiction theme I try to maintain here at the Lair. So, I've set up a blog just for posting my book reviews and journaling my reading habits. If you have enjoyed or benefited from the book reviews I've posted here at the Lair in the past, you may find The Flying Librarian's Hideout a helpful spot to visit. Why the quirky name? Well, you'll just have to visit to figure that out. ; )
As far as my own writing is concerned, I'm still going to be working on editing Son of the Shield and developing the Adelfian Prophecies series. I know it's been a long road, but my story world, Reyem, is developing and expanding in ways I never dreamed of when I first started writing Son of the Shield, so I wouldn't want it any other way.
I'm also going to be pouring some serious time and effort into my stories for Avenir Eclectia. I've really fallen in love with the characters and storyline, and after some conversations with Grace Bridges (the editor of Avenir Eclectia and Splashdown Books) I'm going to be taking the story a bit farther and exploring some bigger plot ideas. If you've read the stories I've published on Avenir Eclectia so far, you can look forward to more adventures with Celeste, Celia, and Robin coming up! If you haven't read any of my AE stories yet, you can do so by Clicking Here. They'll be in reverse order, so you'll have to start at the bottom to understand what's going on.
All these announcements are just the tip of the iceberg for what's coming up in 2012. I look forward to a year of continuing great discussions about the ever-expanding world of Christian speculative fiction writing, as well as more steps forward in both my own writing journey, and in the journeys of the other writers among my readers.
What are you looking forward to this year?
