I’m pretty excited to be work­ing on my next piece of writ­ing, White Sands, which will be part of Dark Red Press’s Decem­ber release, 4POCALYPSE — Four Tales From The Other Side Of Obliv­ion (still work­ing on that title!).  :)

Story Descrip­tion:

Jen­nifer “Rock” Wat­son is a girl on a mis­sion. Hav­ing sur­vived the death of the world, she is now in pos­ses­sion of a map that will lead her to the key to humanity’s future. With Kel, her less-than-trustworthy side­kick, Rock heads out across the dunes of White Sands Mis­sile Range to a guarded lab secreted beneath the shift­ing sands. There she will dis­cover the truth of the pan­demic that wiped out all but a hand­ful of the earth’s pop­u­la­tion. She will face the great­est threat to the sanc­tity of mankind, as well as its pos­si­ble sav­ior. She might be able to safe­guard the rem­nants of human soci­ety. The odds are, though, that the so-called sav­ior will likely kill her first.

Every­thing is in place and the story is flow­ing well. The plan is to have the first draft com­pleted and in the edi­tors’ hands by the first of Decem­ber, in time for a Christ­mas release date.

This one is pretty ambi­tious for me, but so far I am enjoy­ing the hell out of writ­ing it. Is it wrong to fall in love with your protagonist?
