Working hard and falling behind – See what’s happening in day 7 of NaNoWriMo2016!
Hi everyone!
Finally got some good solid time to sit here and type, but I’m incredibly distracted today. I’m about 2k behind schedule, and it’s really hard to find the motivation to continue right now. Fortunately, I’ve managed to finish Corbus’ chapter, which means I can start on a new one, which always helps!
Word Count (as of 8:35 pm) 10,622 9,304 words – Goal Tonight: 12,000 (eek)
Read the snippet beyond the break!
Limited word count improvements, but another snippet awaites!
Hi all,
As usual, NYC has pushed me behind my word count, but never fear I should catch up tomorrow (he says hopefully).
Word Count 8872 – 1, 200 behind. Read today’s snippet beyond the break.
Corbus and a Train Trip, what could be more fun!
This one’s a bit rushed today as the wireless on my Amtrak train keeps going in and out. Goal is 8, 500 if I can get the wireless to stay alive long enough! But here goes, hope you enjoy. 
Oh, did I mention this is Corbus’s first chapter? I do love writing about him for some reason…
7 Thousand words hurray! Read more about new illustrations inside, too!
Hi all, Day 4 is hammered down and ready to go.
So some exciting news today! I got the first glimpses of the two illustrations that will be included in Steel Praetorian, and boy do they look exciting. Very action packed and fitting in with the aesthetic of the earlier novels. I’ve included an illustration below so you can see the style of the artwork. Illustrations aren’t generally common for a novel, but I think they add some style and substance that give readers a glance into the author’s mind. Not to eliminate the imagination of the reader, but to guide their thoughts. Anywho, onto today’s numbers after the break.
Day 3 of NaNoWriMo and we’ve reached 6,000 words! Read more inside!

Day 1 is in the books – snippet of today’s writing inside!
Day 1, it’s here!
As always, here’s a snippet of today’s writing. If you buy Steel Praetorian when it comes out, you’re in luck, as the prologue of Laurel Emperor is featured at the end of the novel!
Anywho, read the snippet beyond the break. 1,788 words and counting!

Looking for some feedback on the back blurbs for Steel Praetorian!
Hi everyone,
Long time no talk, but as you know school has started here in Maryland, and that means that all my free time is taken up with lessons, grading, planning, and talking with other teachers about all of the above. However, I’ve managed to make some headway on the back blurbs for Steel Praetorian, especially as the editor has promised me SP will be in my hand by the end of the week (fingers crossed). Here are the two that are the ‘final cut’ and I’d love some input from you!
Big News about a new Publishing Deal for the Steam Empire Chronicles!
Hi Everyone!
I am very excited to announce that I have signed a deal with Retropunk Publications to translate my series – The Steam Empire Chronicles – into Portuguese, and to publish the novels in Brazil. I am truly over-the-moon with this situation, so I figured I’d interview Guilherme Moraes, founder of Retropunk Publications.
