Here's a quick update on what I'm working on now (as of March 2021)...

Space Junk
I've finished writing this standalone 100k-word (~400-page) novel about a space junker who gets embroiled in an interstellar rebellion. It's currently out on submission, so I don't have a release date yet. 

Space Troopers series
I'm writing a space adventure series with the uber-awesome Jamie McFarlane. We've signed with Aethon Books for a three-book series. We're writing ​Rebel's Run (book 2) right now, and plan to have it to our editor by June. If it's like book 1, it'll come out to be ~120k words, which is roughly 480 pages. 

Frank Brodie series
I've just started writing book 1 in a brand new action thriller series planned that stars a game warden who joins a clandestine department of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that specializes in looking into bizarre and unexplained wildlife cases. Right now, I expect to have this ~100k-word (~400-page) novel completed by mid-May. 

Archon series
I have a brand new post-apocalyptic series planned for 2021 as well. It has some pretty horrific monsters in it--a lot meaner and deadlier than the zombies in the Deadland Saga!  I'll write this as soon as I finish book 1 in the Frank Brodie series.  

Judge Mental (Wattpad)
Poor Judge has been sitting on a back burner for too long. I'll add at least one more chapter this year, and I hope to complete the full first season (~10 chapters) within the next few months. 

Bounty Hunter series
I have six novels planned for the current story arc, which leaves two more novels to write, tentatively planned for 2022 releases. I want to make some headway on Frank Brodie and Archon first. 

Flight of the Javelin series
I was originally planning six novels, but it looks like I'll wrap up the story arc in four, though the fourth novel will be a bit hefty. I have the outline done, and hope to start writing on it when my schedule opens up. 

​Other Stuff
I've completed and turned in "Ragged Old Golem" for Chris Kennedy's next We Dare anthology, which is coming out in June 2021. 
I also have the rights back on the very first novels I published, so I might polish and re-release Knightfall and Hellbound in 2021. I just have to decide how deep I want to go with rewriting the old stuff, which had romantic angles. Right now, I have to admit, the motivation is pretty low.
