I passed the 50000-word point on the third Mantis novel yesterday. I'm doing something today I rarely do. I'm taking the day off, not something I'm good at.

I received news this morning that my story "Licked" is in the final round of consideration at a professional-rate-paying publisher. I'm hopeful, but very aware that the odds are still stacked against me. I've been here before. My story "Pulse" (aka ... more
