Of Moonlight & Shadow (working title)
Genre: Thriller/Horror
Synopsis: The main character is based on one I had created for a LARP game years ago pre-daughter. I had built her as a “one-night-wonder” expecting her to get gacked before the night was out. By the second game she had a national reputation, less than a year later she had become a legend worldwide. This is her story and one that I have been wanting to write for a while; it started during the 2006 NaNoWriMo and continued from there. Definitely dark stuff, not my normal M.O. so I am enjoying the stretch.
Current status: Backburner on low heat, meaning I write when I am inspired but otherwise focusing on Odonatia.
Deadlines: None currently
Word Count: 110,000+
Release date: TBA, possibly late 2011.
CHILDREN’S BOOKS
Clementine’s Garden

COLLABORATIVE BOOKS

Coffee Cartel, the Collaborative Experience
Currently status: Cropping and correcting the graphics in Photoshop. Getting ready to send the formal participant release forms; previously had the go-ahead via email from everyone.

Making Art from Non_Cents
Synopsis: In 2005, I started a paper arts group on YahooGroups called Non_Cents. Non_Cents has been home to the monthly Artistamp ATC swap since February of 2006 and we’ve got quite a collection of talent. The book is a showcase of all the cards and the artists who created them with a portion of the proceeds going to charity.
Current status: In limbo in pre-production layout waiting for me to have time to dive into Photoshop.
Release date: TBA, goal is first quarter 2011.
