I’ve been working on Devil’s Business, the 4th Black London book, for about a week and a half now, and while it’s going fine I don’t think I’m going to keep up with word metrics here this time.  It gets fiddly and then when I miss a day there’s the paralyzing guilt and unbearable shame, and really, when it’s already the holiday season, there’s ( Read more... )

I’m a bit late, being in the throes of a deathmarch on drafting Iron Codex 2, my second YA novel, but I did want to mention today is the release day of Shades of Gray, the second Icarus Project novel that I wrote with the awesometabulous Jackie Kessler.
