It’s a bright and sunny morning outside and will probably break 100 degrees by this afternoon. Don’t worry, though, I won’t be out in it! I have a lot of work to get done today. I’ve mentioned before that this time of year is very busy with my day job due to state and internal deadlines on multiple projects, so every moment I can put in a little extra work is valuable.
This year I have a few extra issues complicating things, but no worries, I’m up for a challenge! That being said, I find every moment I get to work on my writing to be precious, so while I’ll be putting in quite a few hours working for my day job, I’ll also be spending as much or even or more time working on Book 5. This will be my normal routine for the next four to six weeks. Wish me luck!
Mechhaven Missives
- I passed the 70,000 word mark on Book 5 a couple of days ago and will strive to hit at least 75,000 this weekend. I’m still working on wrapping up a couple of plot lines before I begin writing the final battle. The book will definitely be over 100,000 words. At this point it’s looking like 110,000-120,000 words since I want to make sure the climatic battle and ending are very satisfying and not rushed!

A Slagmaster Short Story
When Captain Zeke Travers and the crew of the Friendly Card face off against an ancient cosmic horror, they’ll need brains, brawn, and some serious bending of the laws of physics to survive.
The Slagmasters—a motley band of interdimensional rogues and scoundrels—have set their sights on the semi-mythic Most Exalted Potentovoid of Skynixar, a prize they’ll have to steal from the ruins of an abandoned alien temple. But taking this mysterious artifact awakens Vraxxtorr the Ceaseless, an extradimensional terror with a voracious appetite that transcends space and time.
Can Zeke and the Slagmasters out-eat and out-think the vast and ancient evil, or will Vraxxtorr’s hunger consume all? The laws of physics will be bent to their breaking point in this rollicking sci-fi adventure.
Last week when I ran my Pax Machina promo, author C. Gockelasked if she could promote Pax Machina in her newsletter (she had an opening for a sci-fi book). Of course, I said yes and offered to promote some of her works in an upcoming newsletter. She said there was no need, but I definitely wanted to reciprocate her generosity. On a side note, she also organizes some of the best group promos that I take part in, so I appreciate all the hard work she does to support other authors. Please look at her free books and support her if you can. Thank you!
