Coming in 2021...Now 2022
Devin Drake and the Family Secret
I was offered a contract for my middle grade series about a mystery solving magician who is also a necromancer (can communicate with the dead). The second, Devin Drake and the RollerGhoster, is in progress and should be completed soon. I have two others with rough outlines if the series goes any further (Devin Drake and the Haunted Balcony and Devin Drake and the 5000 Day Curse).
This is the same publisher Binh Pham and I have for The Dragon’s Song (INtense Publications) but these will be solo efforts. I may be able to resurrect an old manuscript or two because this publisher clearly likes the way I write.
Dragon is still set for an October release. I should have the cover to reveal very soon.
As always, I thank you for your support!

Re: Coming in 2021...
It’s a nice thought, but this is a smallish press with no advances, so no writing income to speak of. I’ve pretty much given up on hitting the big time, so I will continue to send these folks my manuscripts and they will edit and publish them. Sales will be in the hundreds and the bookstores will shelve them if I bug the manager.Ritterskoop wrote: ↑Sat Nov 28, 2020 9:32 amCongratulations on making writing a full-time job! That's rare.
I will also continue to work as a scientist for the DoD until I retire.

Re: Coming in 2021...
Following a frantic dash, I finally completed the manuscript for the second book in the series, titled Devin Drake and the Roller-Ghoster. I haven’t typed THE END in a few years and it felt great. I found my writing mojo a few months ago and quickly banged out the second half of this story (which I started three years ago), coming in at around 45000 words. There is still a ton of editing needed. There is currently no release date for this title.
Unfortunately, something had to give. Last fall, I promised a new Bored challenge called Jamboree, a collection of ten or so Bored favorites presented in a series. I haven’t had time to research, and much of it is still incomplete, so I won’t be able to present this in April as I hoped. Perhaps this May or June if all goes well.
The crappy promos will be your guide.
Be well.
PS Thanks to Beebs for being the front line beta reader once again. It’s a tough job!

Re: Coming in 2021...
I got confirmation from the publisher that the first book in the series, Devin Drake and the Family Secret, is scheduled for release in September of 2021. The manuscript has been submitted, so now is the time to come up with cover concepts, dedication, acknowledgement and author photo.
This is my first venture into full-up paranormal, so it should be, well, interesting.

Re: Coming in 2021...now 2022
After the demise of the previous publisher, my Devin Drake series has been accepted for publication by Pen It Publications (same as Dragon). It's a multi-book deal and the series is currently at two (Devin Drake and the Family Secret, Devin Drake and the Roller-Ghoster)
Time to get writing!
