I know every blog has an unwritten contract with its readers. It goes something like this: Post with a certain frequency.

I don’t do that. People still come, and I feel bad about it. Coming up with posts that don’t sound pretentious is hard.

Anyway, here’s an update on me. Since it’s my effing site.

Ford Kelly 2, SKINLESS, is with my agent. I can’t remember if I like the book or not. I think I do.

I’ve started Ford Kelly 3, which had a title but it sounded like a romantic comedy so now it doesn’t have a title. I have most of the first draft outlined, more than I’ve ever done before. I usually don’t work that way but this story seemed to click. I am more excited about it than any book I’ve written so far, which is saying something. It has some Sci Fi elements. I don’t know if that’s allowed. Duane Swierczynski wrote THE WHEELMAN, a “normal” crime novel. His follow up, THE BLONDE, while not a direct sequel, is set in the same universe. It features some science fiction. I figured if he can do it, I can.

Anyway, the idea is too cool to pass up, so I’ll wait until someone tells me to stop.

I’m reading NUMB by Sean Ferrell. It is amazing. I suggest you go order it right now. By suggest I mean you should do it or suffer dire consequences.

I’m excited about finishing this book sometime in the spring. After, I’ll have to look at the four or five books I’ve got brewing, and pick a direction. So much good stuff. If Kelly gets his own series, great. Three books would feel complete, but there’s always room for more. He’s an interesting guy. Can’t wait for you to meet him.

In early March I’m guest blogging at Pens Fatales. Look for that. It’s about revenge. I should probably finish writing it.

I’ll try to check in here more often. I am paying for the damn thing.
