The first writing update of the new year. How exciting!
A new series? Are you crazy?
It’s true. After seven months of plotting and planning, I have a brand new series completely outlined.
It’s epic. So freaking epic.
Space opera on the grandest of scales. Ten books. One prequel story. I can’t tell you how excited I am to dig in on it so I can share more details.
It’s everything I love about the genre, with my own personal view on the characters that inhabit these worlds.
I am still kicking around the idea of publishing it under a pen name. It might seem silly to you, gentle reader, but to me my actual name being on the book doesn’t matter. Getting people to read the book(s) has always been my goal.
Why think about it in the first place?
There was some disconnect between readers of Greystone and readers of DSA. I don’t want there to be any confusion this time around.
But again, we’re in early days so we’ll see. Lots of time to figure out the details.
DSA Season Two
This week, I’m back at the keyboard with DSA. I start drafting Book 2 of the second season next week.
It’s called Foundations.
All of the fallout from the season one finale and the opening to season two is dealt with here. Everything about the Trust to recruiting new team members in the wake of the losses sustained during Sullivan’s coup can be found in these pages.
But the main thrust of the book is my favorite: the very first case attributed to the DSA, and the agencies first recognized agent.
What does a mysterious accident from 1973 have to do with the present day?
Our heroes (whoever they may be…) better solve the case quickly or they’ll risk losing more than just an old ally. They might just miss their first clue into the identity of the man called The Witness.
What’s ahead?
I wanted to make sure DSA didn’t just string readers along for years and years. Season Two’s goal was the expand on the mysteries of the first season, while providing new insight and new dynamics at every turn.
The Witness will stand revealed. The secret of the trees will be explored. Thirteen returns. And the mystery of Emily Wright’s disappearance will at last come to light.
It’s going to be a wild ride.
Tell you more soon on a future writing update.
