<p>Thanks for asking David. My third novel, FATAL eMPULSE should be released before Christmas. Editing my fourth novel. BROKEN ALLEGIANCE, with a release date goal early next Spring. Beginning research for fifth novel, BLOOD QUANTUM, coming out late Summer 2013. In the meantime, gearing up to activate the articles and interviews on my two blogs, and TRY to get my web site finished before the end of this year.</p>

<p>Working towards the end of my 4th novel, and plan to have it finished (1st draft) before the end of November. Then copious rounds of editing and re-writes. </p>

<p>Well, since I started this thread I guess it's only fair I report back how my progress has been.</p>
<p>So, here it is:</p>
<p>For item 1& 2) I wrote a novella outline by writing the entire story completely in script format (maybe you could call it a rough first draft - idk). It came to 19,300 words. Still need to write the novella in prose form; I'm guessing it will be 30k in length and figuring one or two more drafts to do that.</p>
<p>For item 3) Done -- THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT…</p>

<p>For item 3) Done -- THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT went on sale Sept. 11th</p>
<p>For item 4) I completed the first draft of the urban fantasy. THE STONE OF DESTINY. It's clocking in at 53,000 words, but I figure it will be 60-65k or more by the time I'm done. It's cooling now, waiting for me to finish the novella ahead of it first, then I'll be deep into the next draft/re-write.<br/>For item 5) Done -- BLING, BLING was re-formated for Smashwords and BN.com and went on sale Sept. 26th</p>
<p>Item 6) Pending -- need to write the two novellas first. One novella and short story were done before September.</p>
<p>Oh, and I picked up an item 7 -- I am attending a six-week writing workshop online taught by writer Dean Wesley Smith. It started Oct. 2 and runs through the middle of November.</p>
<p>All in all, I'm pleased with my progress and how much I got done. How's everyone else doing on their writing goals? Three months and counting to the new year. Good luck.</p> Sounds like everyone's got a…tag:crimespace.ning.com,2012-09-15:537324:Comment:3554542012-09-15T21:33:08.682ZDavid DeLeehttps://crimespace.ning.com/profile/DavidDeLee

<p>Now finishing the first new Peter Surf novel in years to put out in October. Putting out a new edition of The Black Opera this month. This month put out a new cover for my gangster novel El Morocco. Between now and year's end will see if I finish a novella in the Superhero Action series or if it needs to cook longer. What I need is to write non-stop because that is an amazing drug. </p>

<p>It's almost two weeks since you posted this so we're even closer to the end of the year. I have a busy and exciting schedule lined up.</p>
<ul>
<li><em>Mixed Messages</em>, the first novel in my Malone mystery series, takes place the week of Halloween so I'm doing tons of promotion for it online and offline in September and October.</li>
<li>The sequel, <em>Unfinished Business</em>, will be published in November. I need to set up the book launch event for it and, of course, promote it.…</li>

<li>The sequel, <em>Unfinished Business</em>, will be published in November. I need to set up the book launch event for it and, of course, promote it. Toward that end, I'm participating in the Mystery We Write Book Tour in late November/early December. <em>Unfinished Business</em> takes place the week of Christmas.</li>
<li>When the dust settles, I need to finish plotting and begin writing the third book for my series, although that will most likely happen after the first of the year.</li>
