Writing Update

So the Maze, Book 2, is done and Book 3 is next. But in the meantime...

Book 7 in the Claus Universe is halfway done.

I don't even have a solid working title yet. Feet to the fire, it would be something like Toys: The Urban Legend of Wallace Noel. The best part is that I've got the story arc locked and loaded.
40,000 words of the rough draft are in the bank. Last week I outlined the remainder of the plot. That's huge.

The most difficult part of a story, for me, is knowing where it's going. Sometimes I just start then back up then delete then start again. Once I got a feel for the characters and setting, then the story unfolds. This one is done.

I just have to write it.


For new readers, what is this Claus Universe I speak of? This is a scifi-fantasy series of beloved holiday characters. It's the stories you never heard as a kid.
