Writing Projects Update for April 2014

I just wanted to take a moment to provide a project updates for those who are interested. This year has started with a long run of odd illnesses in the Lorenzen household (colds, noro-virus, pink eye, vertigo, strep throat, sinus infection, and more).  Needless to say, my usual writing pace has slowed down. But I hope to see my pace pick up this month.

Here is a list of my current projects and their expected completion dates:

UNLUCKY ALIEN Series (Sci-Fi Short Stories)

1. Alien at the Office will be out in e-book format this month.

WAYS OF CAMELOT novels (Arthurian Fantasy)

1. Road of Waters (Book 2) will be out in e-book and print in about two months (about 70% complete now)

2. Road of Clouds– last of the trilogy should be finished this summer

CIRIAN WAR SAGA novels (Epic Fantasy)

1. Truth Mocker (Book 2) should be available by late 2014. (about 40% complete now)

2. Books #3 & 4 of this series are planned for 2015

3. Book 5– last of the saga- is planned for early 2016

TYRANTS OF TOLERANCE Series (YA Science Fiction)

The first of these novels has been delayed until 2015, due to the backlog

In addition to these projects, I still have numerous non-fiction guidebooks to complete for Genuine HR: books on hiring paperwork, employee discipline, and termination. I may also complete  more short stories, but probably not until this summer.

I’m glad to be so busy, but sometimes I just wish there was more time in the day. To my loyal readers who are waiting patiently for the next book in their favorite series- Thank You for your patience. I will do my best to repay your patience with stories that you will enjoy.
