Things are progressing in the Universe. Book 4, currently titled Earth Bound: Fourth Dimensional, is nearing the halfway point on draft number one. The plot is a lot of fun and I really hope everyone likes it. I am torn between spending time completing it, reviewing the first three books, and looking into future projects. As it sits right now, it looks like the series will end, or at the very least, take a break after this book. I have so many other ideas that beg for my attention. However, I live in the real world, and distractions, work, and parenting responsibilities often take up most of my days. 

I wouldn't trade that time with my wife or children for anything, so my writing takes a back seat. I would love to write full time, but it's not in the cards right now. I am a husband first, a dad second, and I wouldn't change that ever! So I write at night, and I try to keep the creative juices flowing even when real-life slows me down. 

I will try to keep more current on this blog. I have had technical difficulties with my computer, but now we have a new one that isn't yet corrupted by the anti-technology virus which I emit, cursing all forms of technology and condemning them to purgatory. Let's keep our fingers crossed that it remains free from my poisonous touch, even as I write on its keyboard at this very moment. 

As for my aspirations this year, I hope to have Book 4 out by summer, as well as a first book in a new children's series I have mentioned in the past on Facebook. Time Pirates will hopefully debut this summer as well. My own children are particularly excited about this book as I named characters after each of them. I have a very talented former student working on illustrations for each of the chapter headings and the cover. As soon as he is finished, I will be making the final push for publishing on it.

As always, thank you to all of my fans and readers for your support, and keep spreading the word so the Universe can expand!
