Swimming in the Idea Pool

Here I am, my first blog post. So, I have learned that part of my writing process is sharing my writing process and ideas with others. This, of course, is a slightly hairy prospect for a new writer. It seems to be a knife-edged path between sharing too much, spoiling plots, and writing virtually nothing at all. Hopefully, I can balance that path well.

My current writing projects are twofold. I have an epic fantasy series and a YA modern steampunk fantasy.

The first in my epic fantasy series will be Bound By Blood. A displaced half-elf, joined by a possessed bard and a grief stricken barbarian, set out to save the world from destruction at the hands of an ancient demon worshiping cult. It has been fun writing so far. I hope to have it on Amazon Kindle and other eBookstores by summer 2011.

The first in my YA modern steampunk fantasy is currently unnamed. I hope for a winter release in eBook form. The story? Oh yeah: One boy's boring science fair is interrupted by his aunt and uncle, a mad scientist and a sorcerer of a secret arcane order. They spirit him away in their steam-powered clockwork teleportation device to a new life filled with secret societies, shadow ninjas, and a war that's been raging behind the scenes for over two hundred years.

Tell me what you think below.
