Hey all, just thought I'd update everyone on the status of the various books I have in limbo, and what's coming, so you know how things are going and what each book is presently doing.  So here's the latest progress report on each of my books and their current state.  (PS, these are books that aren't yet released)

Earthfleet:
Empire Rising (book 4) - We've trying to work through some manuscript issues still.  Something happened to the manuscript between my copy and the publisher's proof that has caused the copy we're working with to collapse and become corrupted several times.  We're working through the problems and *HOPE* to have everything sorted before the middle of the month, or possibly the end of the month at the latest.  Once that's sorted out and printing can begin (This is all that's holding up the release) then the book will hit the shelves with great haste.

First Dawn (book 5) - This book is merely waiting on book 4.  When Empire Rising is released, this one will come immediately behind it.

Land of the Lions
Lion in the Wind (book 1) - I've completed all editing and revision work on this book.  It is now classified as "ready for editor".  This means that when the book begins its publishing process it can go straight to the editor.  As for an official ETA of this book, I don't have one.  I still have a bunch of other books that are trying to work their way through the publishing process, so this book is on hold until sometime next year so that I can get the other books out and get them comfortably into circulation.  Once that's achieved, I'll start focusing on putting this one into print.

Lion of the Earth (book 2) - This book is next up on my docket of books to edit.  I'd say it's about 95% complete and only needs some cleanup, as I did a major overhaul on it the last time I worked on it.  So there's going to be plenty of stuff to clean up along the way.  I hope to have this one done and into a "ready for editor" state by the end of summer.  

Christian Books
The Great Commission - This book is done and in the publishing process.  No ETA is available yet for release.

The Dreamland Articles
Book 2 - This book is done and has completed the publishing process.  However, it's presently on hold waiting for the final printing issues to be resolved.  Once those get sorted out (which should be this month), it will be available for purchase.

Book 3 - This book has been put on the "canceled" list for now.  This doesn't mean it won't ever be published, but rather that I'm stepping back and taking a more subjective look at how this series is performing.  If 1 and 2 take off soon, I'll release book 3.  If not, then I'm stopping with this book and canceling it permanently.  So for now it's sort of in limbo.

Experimental Novels
One of the things I like to do periodically to help improve myself is to write experimental novels and try new and interesting concepts, plotlines, character types, and other more challenging things that push my writing skills to a higher level.  The best part of these books is that they're always free, and you as a reader get the chance to provide your feedback on the book and help me become a better writer.

Presently there are three books that are being voted on as possible candidates for my next experimental writing effort.  They are "Whalandria", "Warbirds", and "Empire".  At this present time only Whalandria and Warbirds still remain in the running as Empire has fallen too far behind.  So in the next day or two I will post a more detailed overlay of both books, including the prologues, in order to help everyone choose the book they think I should work on next, and would most like to see.

Conclusion
Well, that's all I have for now.  Thanks everyone for reading, and I hope to give you some good news when I post my next writing update.  Till then, read, imagine, and have fun!
