News of Varying Kinds
So... let's go with the bad news first. My computer up and died. Broke. Stopped working with no warning whatsoever. Thus the prolonged silence on my end. At the moment, I am borrowing my mom's laptop but still, it's rough going. I don't anticipate getting a new one for at least a few weeks from now. But since I've been without a computer for like... two weeks, I haven't written anything. Alas. Except for seven handwritten chapters of a brand-new original fic.
More on that to come later.
In the meantime, that means updates won't return until March at the earliest. I'll need time to get back in the groove, get back to writing, etc. Not to mention getting settled in after a major move and finding another job. Hopefully, when I return, I'll have lots of ficcage to hand out.
Now for the good news. I have a release date (perhaps tentative) for The Requiem of Janus. We're looking at May 2010 folks. That means it will be coming out at the same time as Monster. Huzzah! I'm very excited about this. I've also been introduced to my editor and he seems like a neat guy. We'll get along well together. He'll rip my manuscript apart and I'll doggedly fix it. *grins*
Anyway, the new fic I had worked on in my extended absence was a supernatural murder mystery with a slashy theme. Very outside my usual but very interesting to try. The basic gist? An American PI heads to Japan to investigate the death of a billionaire's son which said billionaire doesn't believe to be an accident like the local authorities suggest. To quote some famous movie, "nothing is what it seems". Huzzah! I'll have to do a lot of research before it's up to snuff and ready for human consumption, but it seems to be cruising along mightily nonetheless.
I should return soon with more news.
Ciao.
