What I'm Working On Now
A wise man once said, "Don't publish your first book first." (Thomas Umstadtt Jr. at AuthorMedia.com) The reason is simple -- it's going to be bad. I already had this experience back in the day when I rushed to publish my book. I'm not going to do that again!
With that as background, I am currently working on a trilogy titled Pilgrimage of the Moon Witch. I'm writing each chapter of this as practice while I take Author Media's writer development course. I do not intend to publish these books right away. Volume 1 of the trilogy will actually be the 3rd book in the larger series. Hopefully by the time I finish the trilogy, I'll be a good enough writer to handle writing the first actual full length novel of the series. Before I publish that first book, I will upload the trilogy to Royal Road and gain that experience, using the feedback from Royal Road readers to refine the trilogy even more.
