Okay, I have two novels written and ideas for about a dozen more. However, I have only started on two of them. I am not sure which I will finish first, but I will update as I go. Here are the titles and a little about the books.

The Open Door had the best introduction that I have written. I started on this novel three separate times, each time failing. So, with my wonderful intro in the waste pile, a new, trimed-down outline, and some powerful motivation, I rewrote this project from a different angle and words flowed onto the paper. I'm now editing and preparing to submit to agents.

Alien invasions start small.

There exist doorways that connect worlds - doorways that open and close, that can be seen by some but not others, and that each carry consequences for entrance and more dire consequences for avoidance. A door opened on earth and group of seven came through. With a mission to assassinate one person to save their home world from predicted destruction, subplots of love, loyalty, and intergalactic politics bring out everyone’s true character and motivations.

This was (or I guess it still is) my first novel. When I wrote it, I thought about submitting it - actually did send it to a few dozen agents. Now I know it was a practice novel. The characters are strong, some action sequences are pretty good, I have lots of friends, family, and other writing group members excited about it, but I have some serious work to do on my main character's development over the course of the novel.

Start with forgotten children, sprinkle on some pollen, coat with DDT, mix in ample radiation, add a wish, and bake for 18 hours - that was their recipe - I was one of the children. Unfortunately for me, I didn't get the DDT till after they started adding the radiation and I wasn't just a child, there was the unborn child of my abusive father in my womb. Now they have to watch me as I watch them. Only I can’t watch them with the dead, blackened eyes that I once saw with but with the other abilities that have grown in me, the abilities that I am trying to hide, the abilities that I am fighting to control.

Earth and Snow is a sequel to Spring Meets Winter. The novel picks up just a few minutes after where the last one left off. I stopped after the first chapter and a brief outline for this novel as I have been focusing on other projects while I decide what to do with SMW.

I am very excited about The Cleansing. This is a futuristic novel about a small group of people during a civil war.

Near the turn of the 29th century, a scared, little sulteer boy crawled unnoticed down a sewer drain in Shurefleet to escape the Chimree, winged beasts with the bodies of lions and the heads of demons - goddesses to die for, literally. No one knew until 16 years later, The Cleansing of the Southern Grid, the second massacre by the Chimree, that there was a living witness to the Rise of the Chimree. No one knew until the little sulteer that ran became the one who stood defiant in the face of the Chimree horde.
