The last eight months have -- without doubt -- been some of the busiest of my life. In addition to my day job providing policy analysis and advice to Senator Nick Sibbeston, I've also become a publisher, purchasing Bundoran Press from Virginia O'Dine. (Read about how that happened here.) While it has been great fun editing other people's work, it means I no longer have a publisher for my own science fiction.
Before you weep too many tears for me, I should let you know that lately I've been focusing on historical mysteries. The first in this series -- set in Paris after World War I -- is now being considered by a major publisher, that is, they asked for the whole book and haven't rejected it yet. The second I finished on April 1 and will soon delve into re-writes. And I have had two SF short stories published this year and am working on several more right now.
Add in my freelance work editing a memoir and perhaps you'll understand why I haven't been blogging much lately (except as a publisher). Can't promise I'll do much better in the coming months but I will try. If you feel a need to hear what I have to say, I will be sharing a booth with Ryan McFadden at Word on the Street in Toronto on September 22nd. I'll also be Editor Guest of Honour at Can-Con in Ottawa this October.
