Still ploughing through the novel, Part Two is up and running.
Subbed "Dead of Night" again, still waiting to hear and am busy polishing up "The Filter House" before subbing that.
Thinking about a few more shorts using the main character from "The Filter House" and also my exorcist who's appeared in two stories so far.
Read some stories for Darkest Minds, waiting for more...

Stalled at 18k on the novella/novel and have to switch to doing a story I owe Joe Mynhardt for the Fear the Reaper anthology so hopefully I'll return to it with renewed vigour

Good luck with the collection!
Just subbed The Filter House (after some tidying up) so will wait and see...
Passed 54000 words on novel and am on the home strait now. Reckon it'll end up between 70 and 80000 words all told. Have the massive advantage now of knowing how it's going to end so it's just a case of getting the words on paper...

Recently...?
Almost done editing Fear the Reaper. Pre-launch reviews for Kevin Lucia's Things Slip Through have gone out. Working on the paperback formatting now. Helping a local company with an action series they're writing for local tv. Just plot and character stuff. Then there's the Tales from the Lake Vol. 1 horror writing competition. And I'm also editing William Meikle's Samurai, out January.
Phew. I'll probably remember something when I sit down tomorrow and see it on my 'to do' list. :-)

Had an epic submission day on Tuesday; three novellas and a novel. Already had some interest shown in the novel, which is promising.
Also working on my Crystal Lake competition story, which in a serendipitous turn of events, happens to fit the Darkest Minds guidelines too. You know, just in case...
