Incognitio and Using the Cloak of Invisiblitiy
Just when you thought I was dead.
Or worse, gave up on my sf writing, I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaccccck!
Nothing doing. I've been writing my tail off--just as someone else. I've invented a new persona, and she writes, well, I won't tell you what she writes. That's the only clue I'm giving you about that--though, let me tell you, what's began as a hobby, a fun way to break away from writing sf and fantasy, has become a monster.
UNsaid pen name persona now has 10 titles. That's right. 10. So, as you can imagine, the totalitity of those works--editing, promoting, etc.--has been all consuming. As I've been quite sucessful as this other writer, I've not had any time to devote to the Browne Candidate series or Soul Cages. In fact, I have drafts and bits of papers with notes sporting my ideas all rubberband and bound together--scattered about the bottom of my desk.
That's it.
Sad. Yes, I know. I know how you feel, both as a reader (waiting forever for the Dark Tower books and the next HP volume), and as a writer (trying to write a sequel when all I want to do is sleep).
No, really, I don't mean to make light of your angst.
I completely get it.
So, because I respect you as a reader of blog and my works, I want to be honest with you. For me to tell Aurora's tale, I need to give her more time. She whispers things, but she's not ready to sit and tell it all to me. And as you know Aurora, if she's not ready, you can forget it. Her pregnancy with Bain's child. His betrayal and infidelity. Ren's reign as general. Complex stuff and I just kind of left you there, mired in the unanswered (and sometimes unasked) questions.
But, keep trusting me.
I'll get you something good really soon.
Promise? Oh, no. I'll try anyway. The publishing industry is changing so fast that it's hard for me to promise. I can only write the best book I know how, I can't get a publisher to pub it.
So, dear reader, I'll keep working the storylines in my head. As for the OTHER titles, well, I won't share those with you. They're written by someone seperate, at least in my head, and I'd like to keep them that way. *Does this make me mental?*
You may, of course, entertain your own guesses as to my pen name, but if you do find out, don't tell anyone. It'll be our secret.
Shush!
Best,
Nicole
