January, Yeah, steampunk is really big, and if I didn't have a February deadline for 350,000 words, I'd be writing a Steampunk/Fetish piece for NaNo this year. *chuckles* That being said, don't be surprised if one comes out in the next year or so -- I have a tentative offer from a publisher on a 175,000 word +/- piece -- I'll be sending off the 3-chapter preview around August, if everything stays on schedule. My old works are not out for publication ATM, even though the rights reverted when my old publishers went under. However, my new publisher is buying a re-vamp of the world, so I agreed not to re-release my older pieces. I'll be looking for readers for this new piece at the beginning of the year, though -- I try to have a half dozen people read through it before I do the final edit -- I find that, for myself, I'm blind to some of the less workable aspects of my pieces, so having outside voices makes all the difference in the world. You can message me on the other side if you're interested. My genre is basically Sci-Fi... or Speculative Fiction as I prefer to call it... because it's more -soft- science, since I tend to gravitate towards the anthropological/xenopological stuff rather than hard-science. As an aside -- for those who are writing, what are your thoughts on new publishing models. I'm starting to gravitate towards throwing in with the "new media" publishers, and I'm curious what other authors are thinking about some of the new publishing models that are options now. Calla
