What\u2019s been up? Well, I\u2019ve been busting my ass to finish the edits to JEREMIAH WILLSTONE AND THE CLOCKWORK TIME MACHINE, which I finally sent back to Bell Bridge last Saturday at midnight. Then Sunday I finished up a pair of Jeremiah Willstone stories to the editors of THIRTY DAYS LATER, an upcoming anthology. Then on Monday I finished up writing up my comments on the audio version of LIQUID FIRE so Traci Odom could finish her reading. Then I joined a new team at work.<\/p>\n<p>Phew.<\/p>\n<p>This week, I\u2019ve spent a little time cleaning up Dakota Frost #4, SPECTRAL IRON, but today, I started diving back into Cinnamon Frost #1, HEX CODE, for National Novel Writing Month. So, so much is going on I barely have time to blog. I hope to say more about all that\u2019s going on shortly, but in case I don\u2019t, I wanted to take a few moments out to fill you all in. Coming off the stress of all those projects has left me rattled &#8211; people ask how I\u2019m doing, and I say \u201cFiiiine,\u201d and have to clarify that yes, I am fine, but my body hasn\u2019t yet adjusted to being in a situation that I\u2019m fine, so I\u2019m still feeling strung out. But objectively speaking, things ARE fine.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dresan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/20151031_220959.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" alt=\"20151031_220959.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So I rewarded myself with a nice dessert at dinner, and had fun at a truly epic haunted house with my wife.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dresan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/20151031_204023.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" alt=\"20151031_204023.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So all is right with the world.
