How y'all doin'? Happy Halloween, by the way. It's my favorite holiday and I sure hope you had a good one.

Chapter 3 of The Highest Hope is now available on FictionPress. I always appreciate reviews and constructive feedback.

An important note: I am putting this story on hiatus indefinitely because of other more pressing obligations, and the fact that I have a NaNo novel from the prior year that deserves my attention first. You have my word that I AM NOT abandoning The Highest Hope and it will be continued to be serialized as soon as possible.

Read the newest chapter here.

Speaking of National Novel Writing Month, I am participating again this year.  My profile is here and here is the synopsis of my project, a historical fantasy about, le gasp, vampires:

1875 Transylvania

After years of war, rebellion, and outside rule, Romania is ready to become a sovereign nation, taking with it the formerly independent principality of Transylvania. For strigoi - vampires - it is the end of a once-magnificent era, their society hardly resembling what it once was.

Struggling against encroaching humans with new, powerful weapons, as well as a terrifying new disease known as the Blood Poisoning killing their people, the last strigoi struggle to survive.

Two brothers, outcast Sorin and youngest member of the Great Council of the Dragon, Viorel, might just be the ones to lead their people into the future. If they can muster the courage to let go of the past.

Happy Halloween (And Some Other Stuff)

I don't know about all of you, but Halloween is one of my favorite holidays of the year. I sit here writing this post with a bucket of candy in my living room waiting for trick or treaters to arrive, it's nice and chilly outside, and I have the new Super Smash Brothers game and a fluffy dog to keep me company. Life is good.

The thing is, Halloween proceeds National Novel Writing Month by a day. So I will be holed up in my room starting tomorrow in the little spare time I have, typing away for most of November. My NaNo profile is here: http://nanowrimo.org/participants/kumaokaasan, where you can follow my progress and check out the novel I'm working on as my project. I will do my best to be active on the site, but with some changes at my work and trying to complete NaNo, I probably won't be updating this blog much in November.

In December, I plan to have a giveaway on GoodReads of some signed copies of December, my newest novel. (hehe) More details on that to come, and I promise I'm working on July, its sequel. ... Just not in November. *sigh*
