One of the reasons I’ve been slower on getting decent scifi stories out (there’s two in the queue) is that I’ve been spending a lot of time on book proposals and a novel-length fiction project, a mystery written with the lovely and talented Mrs. Zumsteg.

Anyway, the first draft’s done, and now it’s time to get into the re-writes.

It’s weird, I haven’t written a novel since college (which 2, maybe 3 people read), and my re-entry into scifi’s been almost entirely short stories (except, as my friend calls it, “that book about the genetically engineered Kiwi criminal mastermind teenager”), and yet here I am, with a fully-formed mystery. Let the re-writes begin.
