News on Book 2
I realize it has once again been a while since I have posted, but this time I at least have a good reason. Massive progress has been made on the first draft of my second book, which is nearing completion. Over 70,000 words have been written in the last month (Yes, you read that right, 70,000). At this point I am quite certain that Book 2 will be at least a little longer than Book 1, even after editing.
Reiterating what I have mentioned before, once the draft is completed it will enter a significant editing process. This will include cuts, additions, rewrites, and correcting the inevitable minor mistakes. I do not have an editing timetable yet, but I will post updates as progress is made. During this process is also when previews may become available.
New Content
I am debuting something new this week. Inspired by something a friend inquired about, a location briefing. This content is intended to be some more in depth information on a specific location that appears in my stories. This might include details that were cut from my books because it was not immediately relevant to the story, expanded details to provide a better idea of what a location is like, and historical information (from the viewpoint of my stories) about a given location. In the future, I may provide some sort of concept art to augment these as well.
This week, I am beginning with a location that appears fairly early in Book 1, Lambda Station. There should not be any plot spoilers in this briefing since it primarily focuses on the history of the station from some time before my stories take place.

After some suggestion, I have also considered using content like this as some of the first teasers for Book 2. This would involve outlining a few of the locations that appear in Book 2 without spoiling anything from a plot standpoint. This is only an idea at the moment, and nothing would appear until the first draft of Book 2 is complete. I will have more on this in the future.
Updates
I have been somewhat distracted by my writing and other real life activities, so I have neglected making some necessary updates to the site. I intend to correct that over the next week. Expect some content updates and some updates to functionality. While I expect these to be seamless, if there is any disruption to the site, it will be due to these updates and should be temporary.
