I’m really anal in that I like to stay ahead in everything. Which is why I’m working on Assassin 2 and have already finished Spy 2. And have outlines for Book 3 in both series. It’s a disease. Sigh.

The Bigtime books are doing well, but I’m no J.R. Ward or Nora Roberts in terms of sales. And in the end, it all comes down to sales. Publishing’s a business like any other, and the goal is to make money. All I can do is write the best books I can and hope that folks enjoy them.

Still, I appreciate the recommendations and the well wishes. It’s nice comments from fans like you that make all the hours in front of my computer worthwhile. :ww:

I’ll forgive you–but only if you’re ahead in your Bigtime manuscripts. 🙂 I do hope the series is doing well. I certainly recommend it to those I know. I also wish you luck in your other endeavors.

Since I’m ahead on the comic books, I wanted to focus on my two new urban fantasy series and play around with some other new ideas. I’ll probably do some more work on the Bigtime series in the fall. (If my publisher decides they want more books in the series. Fingers crossed!)

I just have too many ideas and books to write, and not enough time. :joecool:

Realistically, I’ll probably only be able to finish Assassin 2 and write two of the rough drafts. But it’s good to have goals. :buttercup:
