Short Fiction

As the novel, The Guardians, begins to wind to a close on the first draft I start to look at the short fiction that is on my plate to write and rewrite. I have written before about many of the stories that need to be worked. I intend to write or rewrite four short stories before tackling the next draft of the other novel, Dark Medicine.

Why not just swing from novel to novel ? Two reasons come instantly to mind. One is to give the novels a break to become fresh for when I tackle them again. The other reason is to get some of my writing out the door and hope for publication credits. The other reasons that have not been expressed is it also allows me to explore the possible universes that novels may take place in or to write a piece that is not so overarching as a novel is required to be.

I will keep you up to date as I start those projects.
