Current active projects include:

The UK Horror Series isn’t off this list because it’s complete, unfortunately, but because my cowriter needed to take a break.

I’m feeling disheartened with writing lately, unable to focus on one project at a time, and frustrated with lack of progress with the cowriting. So that’s fun. Trying to work through it all.

Current active projects include:

UK Horror Series
(This series cowritten with Sarah.)

1: Talking Dead

2: Monsters & Magic

Werewolves in Love
New adult romance. Werewolves, murders, and the constant sea. Status: Outline complete, first draft in progress. I’ve been struggling with writing lately, it feels like I’ve forgotten how to tell a story, so I went back to an outline I finished a few years ago, and started a draft from it. If I lose the thread of the story, the outline is already there.

February has been rough. I'm still sick, and today we got hit by a snowstorm. Nothing on the northeast USA, but bad enough. It's cold, it's gross, I still have an ear infection (though I'm coming to the end of my antibiotics, and I am starting to feel better), and in general, it's just kind of blah. I'm trying to focus on the positives, and one of those positives is always my writing, no matter how it is going.
