I'm at a bit of a loss about which project to pursue next. Here's a list of probables.
Rewire. This is a novel I wrote a couple years ago. It's in need of serious revision. Rewire could be described as a "near-future science fiction love story crime novel." There are no gun battles or fire fights, there's a lot of neuroscience included, and when I say "love story" I mean "love story."
Suzie's Technical Support. This is a straight-up crime novel, with aspects of hardboiled fiction, featuring my favorite crazy woman with a gun, Suzie. The rough draft has been written, just needs a few weeks worth of revisions.
Polya. This is a fantasy novel, with somewhat the same texture as Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd and Gray Mouser stories. That is, a dark, mean-spirited world in which a slave girl named Polya finds a way to game the system to achieve her freedom.
A Pawn's Life. This is another fantasy novel, involving a boy who becomes a pawn in the supernatural battles between magicians. It's about as far from Tolkien as one could get.
The Anmang. This is a science fiction novel featuring the struggles of the last of the Anmang clan, outlawed, on the run throughout the solar system in the distant future.
I'll probably - maybe! - finish up with Suzie and Rewire, then write Polya. I might write another crime novel. Haven't made up my mind. If my In the Realm of the Gods books have some success, I'll write Rust. If not, who knows at this point?
