As planned, I’m taking December off from writing apart from free-writing. Not that things aren’t happening. I got my copies of “Out of Time”, my next novel, along with the bookmarks. Yay! They arrived a little late for Christmas, but that’s OK.

I also have a release date: February 14, 2023. I’ll have to do a promo for Valentine’s Day. eBook pre-orders should be up wherever you get your ebooks. Physical copy pre-orders will be up in the next few weeks. It’s a logistics and bookseller thing.

Out of Time is my first science fiction book. It’s a mixture of SF and history. My editor classified it as suspense—that’s a new genre for me. I like that, although I was thinking of a thriller when I wrote it.

The story is also written differently. It’s not only shifting POVs, but shifting time frames. Some beta readers had issues with keeping track of the story. I think I resolved that. I think I also resolved referring to the same people in different time frames.

English doesn’t have a large vocabulary when dealing with relativistic time.

I like the story and how the book came out. If you get a copy, I hope you enjoy it and leave a review.

On other writing fronts, even though I’m not actively writing this month, I’m thinking about the third book in my Coins of Destiny series. I’ll start writing it early next year. I’ll work on getting the first book in the series published in early 2024 as well. I want to write a second novel in 2024, I’m not sure what that will be at this point.

That’s it for 2023. Please give Out of Time a read.

Happy Holidays. Have a peaceful 2024.
