A new day is coming! (WIP Wednesday)

Took over two days work, but the result was my
best individually designed cover ever. 

In just a few days, I plan to introduce my new publication plan for 2019. I have big plans for what I want to accomplish in the months and years ahead, but I also need to make sure I have everything in place for a highly successful launch. I will say newsletter subscribers will get the first shot at things late in the month before the news expands everywhere in September.

I finished Project Independence near the end of my Camp Nanowrimo time last month. Since then, I've resisted the urge to sign up for any other projects from any other publishers. My focus is on developing all the content I have planned for 2019 and beyond. I've already banked three new chapters of Quadrant (a title that will get much more coverage here starting in a few weeks) and am currently working on the third new Lightweight chapter I've written in the last months. Those two titles are going to be a core focus for me going forward. Both will serve as the cornerstones of the Quadrant Universe in the years ahead. That doesn't mean they will be the only projects however.

Back in my mad dash to create a bunch of interesting new things in 2014, I released a short story called Atomic Werewolf. On top of some of the finest Photoshop work I've ever done, it introduced the world to a literal atomic werewolf, a powerful, giant wolfman created and fueled by radiation. Told from the viewpoint of his teen sidekick forties years removed, it's a simple tale designed to fill in a few points of history in the Quadrant Universe. But unlike several of the "Timeline" stories I released that year, it wasn't designed to support a plot line I planned for a future novel. It was built around a cool name, one I liked but didn't feel an immediate need to develop beyond a simple origin.

The events of the last few weeks have made me change that stance. The Atomic Werewolf feels like a character whose tale I need to develop. I've already started putting word to screen on a much longer tale. The plot is currently only a rough, but I suspect by the time it finishes, it will be a full length novel.

As always though, I'm keeping two projects in the fire. Lightweight 18 will wrap in a few short weeks. From there I'll move onto the third chapter of another project still in development, but more on that when the announcement hits in two short weeks. (Or just one for those in the know.

Until then, have a great day and keep writing!
