Good news! I finished rewriting Retribution (13 versions), and it has gone back out to Beta readers. In addition, I have found a new editor to help push things along. She will get the new draft to work on in June. There are still several efforts to be completed, but…
Still working on a rewrite of Retribution. Why is it taking me so long, you ask? First, I hate rewriting, especially a rewrite as big as this one. So, I admit that I did some other things in the intervening time. Now, however, I am back at it. It is…

Just to keep you posted, I am still working on Retribution. It has been slow for a variety of reasons, one of which has been coming up with detailed elements of the story. Unlike some authors, I do very little outlining for my books. I’ve tried several times, but it…
I was just notified that Dark Enemy won First Place in Science Fiction from the Texas Institute of Authors annual awards. The contest was entered late last year with awards being announced just now. It was intended to be the last book in the Host Saga, but one never knows.…
