A New One in the Works

Hello, friends. Just a quick update to let you know I’ve finally gotten back to my writing. After a move earlier this year, I had to spend several months updating and doing construction on the ‘new’ house. My office is finally back in order and ready to accept some new words. So that’s what I’ve been doing.

If you’ve read A Flutter in the Window, then you are familiar with Shawn Stedwin and her team at BlueBird Innovation. She is at work on a new project there, and I’m almost at a hundred thousand words on it. I expect I’m about 60% done.

Here’s a quick synopsis:

One of BlueBird’s longest-tenured clients has a satellite in geosynchronous orbit with a server on it. When Shawn Stedwin gets a call that the server is offline, she finds it’s not just down, but that the entire satellite seems to be as well.

She must enlist the help of the US Air Force Satellite Command center to locate the satellite and bring it back online. When they finally bring it home, what she finds threatens to…

And that’s where you insert the Hollywood drama bomb. “Rock her world” or “Change everything she thought she knew” or even “bring the entire world crashing down upon her”. It’s not that dramatic, but it’s pretty fantastic. I will figure out later how to write the cover flap. For now, just know that it’s going to be great. And it will shake you to your very foundation and challenge everything you thought you ever knew about books.

The side-story in this novel is that she’s also working on an AI personality in her spare time, and so that’s a fun little side project.

I expect to be done with this one by the end of the summer, maybe publishing in December or January. Stay tuned!
