Novels: Currently I'm writing one novel, the first book of the Teoamn Saga. I'm using iUniverse.com to publish it. It's a lot like self publishing, only a lot cheaper and a lot easier. I read a book on it and it seems to me to be the best possible way to get published.
Hopefully, if the first book is successful, I'll have four more after it for a total of five books in the series.
Novelettes: My two complete novelettes are Intellect and Bound by Blood, though I may change the name of the second if something better comes to me.
Intellect is the science fiction tale of a bioengineered human. He was built in a lab, but is totally organic. It follows him on his somewhat tragic journey through life as a man-made creation. I finished this story in the seventh grade (four years ago) and have since revised it quite a few times. I'm planning on taking it through one last revision before dubbing it complete enough to send into Fantasy & Science Fiction Magazine, in hopes they will buy it from me.
Bound By Blood is a fantasy story set in the same world as Teoamn, only a few years before it begins. It's about vampire-like creatures called Vreksha, and their ancient legacy that is unleashed on a small island. One boy must confront his link between these creatures and decide which path to take, that of a vreksha, or of humanity.
I finished this one quiet awhile ago as well, maybe three years. It too probably needs another revision before it's ready, and I'd really like someone to peer edit it for me. If you're interested please say so.
I haven't tried writing another Novelette since I finished Bound By Blood, mostly because it's a lot of work and I want to focus on my novel.
Short Stories: I've only finished one short story. I never decided on a name for it. It was also in the same realm as Teoamn and was about a man who is poisoned by a curse which begins to change him into a reptilian with a bad temper. It wasn't too original but I was happy with it and it only took me one evening to write.
I've started on and not finished several other shorts though.
Pointless is about a massive space station inhabited by the descendants of humanity, abandoned by Earth to live out their lives on this ancient city in orbit around a gas giant.
The two social groups of the station have a passionate hatred of one another, which they fuel each day by conducting an endless war within the confines of the station. There are no open spaces, the battles are fought out in corridors and hangers, grenades are more than lethal and the walls of the station will hold even the most powerful blast.
The story follows a man who is drafted into the war against an enemy he hates without knowing why.
I'm about halfway done with this one, it's very short but I think pretty powerful. I hope to finish it someday.
Transfer is yet another story set in the fantasy land of Teoamn. It's about a young elf boy who watches his brother slowly disappear as he becomes more and more involved in the multi-million dollar company he works for. The star eventually loses all contact with his brother and decides to go after him, but at what expense?
Not too far in this one, it might end up being a novelette actually. It has potential to be pretty long.
Fun Stuff: As many of you know, I'm writing an Aliens vs Predator story using people I know (including people from this site) as the characters. I have great plans for the plot but I know that it's not anything I'll ever make money on, so I only write in it when in the mood.
I'll be updating this whenever something new comes along or I finish something else. I may also put little excerpts of some of my best works.
