The brain is willing but the spirit is weak...

Glad this one's finally over. I want to take a break from writing books for a while. Perhaps that sounds funny because I don't consider myself a prolific writer. Six books in eight years and not one of them has broken a 70k word count. I can't type and I have hardly any free time, therefore it takes me forever to write anything. NaNoWriMo blows my mind. How does anyone have the time and mental constitution to write a book in a month? I like writing but it takes so much energy out of me. As a parent of two, I'm already exhausted all the time. Whenever I take on a project, even if it's just something I do on the side for fun, my brain is constantly thinking about it at all times until the project is finished. It's like starting a marathon that you can't quit. Maybe it's naive of me to think that I can "take a break" when so many of my projects are started because my inspiration has reached critical mass and essentially drags me kicking and screaming to the keyboard. And don't think that my brain was in want of more ideas when I hit the publish button for Phylum, because it wasn't. I guess what I'm saying is I want to plug my brain's ears and go la la la la la la la for as long as I can get away with it.

Phylum: The Bulogan Incident Available Now

The Phylum: The Bulogan Incident ebook is now available for purchase on Amazon. The free download promotion will begin on February 10 and last through the 14th.

On a secluded island in the northeast Philippines is a hospital with a covert genetic research wing. When their benchmark experimental subject escapes into the wild, project lead Leslie Carmichael decides to cover it up and take care of the situation by his own means. But the subject's exposure to the outside world yields horrific results no one could have predicted, a breed which can evolve at will to appease its desire to feed. People disappear and life in the small island community of Bulogan becomes increasingly disrupted. When things escalate beyond Carmichael's control, the real stakes are finally revealed: the extinction of life itself.
They are what they eat...

Phylum: Final Draft

The full manuscript of Phylum: The Bulogan Incident is finished. Now all that is needed is a cover to cover read through to assure cohesion and see if there is anything else that I need to change or include. The ebook will be live on Amazon before the end of February. I will also be doing the usual free promotion when it hits.
