Supercalifragilisticexpealidocious

   Posted by: Michell    in Irreverent Muse

What do you say when you have nothing to say at all? Supercalifragilisticexpealidocious, of course! (for those of you unfamiliar with Mary Poppins, the Disney Classic, that is where the reference comes from).

Honestly, with everything that has been going on lately, I’m having difficulty focusing on one thing long enough to get anything done. I’m sure you have all been through similar times in your life.

So, let me just give you an update on what I’ve been up to on the writing and podcasting front, instead.

The BIG news is, my co-editor Jeff Hite and I have put our anthology,A Method to the Madness: A Guide to the Super Evilto bed. We are expecting layout to be complete by the end of March. That is a huge weight off both of shoulders. We wanted to deliver something spectacular to our Publisher. I hope we have accomplished that.

Get Published continues with episode 102 coming out soon. Action Pack Podcast will resume in February (sorry, we had to take January off) with episode 10. That means I’m still writing Boyscouts of the Apocalypse. That is going slower than I would like simply because I am being pulled in a number of directions. Ah well.

My co-contributor and I have started to submit Jack Kane and the Statue of Liberty to publishers for consideration. In case you are wondering, Jack Kane is a YA Steampunk Superhero mashup that JR Murdock and I wrote together. It’s a really fun story that I hope will be picked up for publication soon.

I am also FINALLY getting back to writing the next Mik Murdoch book, tentatively titled: Mik Murdoch and the Power Within. I actually really love this title because it plays on several levels within the story I’m writing. Sorry, but you will just have to wait like everyone else to see the finished product. ;)

There are several short story projects that I want to do as well, but, unfortunately, they will have to wait their turn for my attention.

Have a great week!

A Bucketful of Announcements

   Posted by: Michell    in Irreverent Muse

I have talked on occasion about the various projects I’m working on. Up until now, I haven’t been able to give any dates when my projects are coming out.

Well, that is over. At least, I can tell you about some of the projects I have coming out.

So, here goes.

  1. Mik Murdock, Boy Superhero now has an official release date. It is scheduled for release August 1, 2012. There is one more edit to go and then the layout has to be done, galley’s reviewed and review copies sent out. It will be a busy few months coming up.
  2. Mad Scientist Anthology has been picked up by Five Rivers Publishing. Five Rivers has traditionally been a Canadian-only press however, Lorina was sufficiently intrigued by the anthology’s premise that she has agreed to take it on as an Open Anthology. Jeffrey Hite and I are both very excited about this. The anthology is a for-love collection, but there are some nice perks for accepted authors.
  3. The Action Pack Podcast is coming out at the end of February. This podcast will be a lot of fun as it will feature three different story arc’s every month. My story is Boy Scouts of the Apocalypse.

Those are the projects that have release dates. I also have several that are on the go and should be ready in the coming months.

It’s so awesome to be able to share this with you. I hope it shows that persistence CAN pay off.

If you have any projects of your own coming to fruition, please comment. I’d love to hear what you are working on too.
