A SEPARATE LAW begins its serial run on Spectrum Dispatch!

So, a few months ago I got in touch with the folks at Cloud Imperium Games via Chuck Gannon, rainmaker extraordinaire. They read some of my previous work, liked it, and asked that I submit some story ideas, etc. I did one they liked.

We got a contract going, and I wrote A SEPARATE LAW.

Today, part one of that story is up on the Spectrum Dispatch. I very much love the title banner. I hope you enjoy it, and the story.

What I've Been Doing This Summer

Work has been the same, meaning there have been moments where I wanted to unleash my inner gorilla, but, in general, proceeding in as efficient a manner as possible. I have a long (15000 words, more or less) short story entitled A Separate Law I am under contract to produce. I am writing it in 1500-word stretches for placement on a web magazine supporting a computer game. I'm nearly done with it, finishing up the eighth bit right now. When I am, I will resume working on 1636: The Mughal Mission, with Eric Flint. I might think about something more with the games company, but I really, really want to get my novels out there, and working with Flint is a godsend as far as graduating from apprentice to journeyman writing. He's highly skilled at getting the best out of writers he works with, and I hope to learn a great deal.
