Works in Progress

Here are the ground rules for this page:

• I add new works to this list when I complete a first draft. (This allows me to create in peace and quiet.)
• I remove works from this list when they are either published or are archived/”trunked.” If a work is published (traditionally or by me) it migrates to my “About” page. If it is trunked, it migrates to the Great Hard Drive in the Sky.
• I 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. For updates on works as they happen, follow my Twitter feed.

Here’s the list:

1. The Number Thief
This short novella (about 15,000 words) features Yusuf ibn-Yaqzan, the protagonist of The Ghul of Yazd. It’s a piece of historical fiction set in North Africa in the early 13th century. I have a final draft.

2. The Sludge Ship Chronicles
This is a five-act play. It’s a comedy set in a medieval country. I’m sharing and submitting to those rare theaters that still accept play manuscripts.

3. TBOS.
