The new year is 3 weeks old, and I've been incredibly busy with stuff. Mostly writing and editing, as can be expected. I have a number of releases lined up already - thanks to a shocking amount of productivity because of teaming up with LA Witt. I can't believe we wrote two novels, two novellas and two short stories since we started working together somewhen in late October/early November?
As I write this, Quid Pro Quo has stormed the Amazon bestseller lists, hitting #13 and #17 in a couple, and around 3,000ish in the overall sales. I think it's the fastest-selling thing I've done in my life.
Four more things are in edits: two Market Garden novellas that link into each other are currently in developmental edits, which means they might jump on my desk any moment now. Our WWII novel had its guts torn out already and is back with Riptide. I've also completed the first edit of Scorpion, which will be re-released with a new edit and a new cover. So that's two novellas and two novels for 2013. I'm already feeling very productive.
Then I'm currently going through Amy's edits of City Mouse (Country Mouse sequel), which should return to Riptide in the next couple days (maybe tomorrow if I have a good run and the day job doesn't eat my day). So that's three novellas and two novels total.
And then I'll try to tackle the edits of the Market Garden novel (which is completed in first draft and is currently "resting"). Three novels and three novellas.
And we're doing a story for Riptide's law enforcement call - which I'd say is 50-60% done (and then we were both slapped HARD by a pile of edits). Wrapping that one up and getting it ready to publish will be the next thing.
Four novels and three novellas for 2013, and it's only January.
Extremely pleased, here. I'm hoping to add a few more during the year, but the "Oh my god, I have no releases for 2013!" panic is dealt with. It takes some pressure off, and I do want to write the Scorpion sequel between now and May, so that'll be a solo work I'm doing soon.

What's that you say? A steady supply of Mr. Voinov's work to keep me just this side of sated? ;)
