Works in Progress

Here are the ground rules for this page:

• I add new works to this list when I complete a 1st draft. (This allows me to create in peace.)
• I remove works from this list when they are either published or archived/”trunked.” If a work is published (traditionally or by me) it migrates to my “About” page. If it is trunked, it goes to the Great Hard Drive in the Sky.
• I often reveal titles here when a final first draft is complete.

In short: works are listed here when a first draft is complete and leave here when they’re published or archived.

Here’s the list:

1. The Presence
Let’s call this The Turn of the Screw fan-fiction or, if you don’t like that, a SciFi Ghost story. A Cosmic Horror novella, this really was an experiment in tone: Could I do SciFi, but give it that ominous, Trap music feel? And what would that look and feel like? 
Status: First draft done. Editing now.

2. TPD
This is a longer Dark Fantasy piece.
Status: Writing first draft.

3. The Book of Shaitan
More on this soon. It’s a long historical fiction piece set in 13th century Spain.
Status: First draft done.

4. Das ÜberWesen
This is a Cosmic Horror historical fiction short story. It’s set in 1880s/1890s Germany and stars a certain German philosopher who has an unwelcome encounter with an entity from beyond.
Status: Submitting now.

5. Various poems — To be announced when accepted.
At any given time, I have dozens of poems in various stages of completion. This ranges from very rough first drafts to polished products which only need to be proofread…Since they’re too many to list here, I refrain from posting them. Instead look for them to appear, when published, on my “About” page.
