Delphi in Space

 Delphi Challenge, book nine, is coming out on Jan 5th.  It's available for preorder now.   The next book Delphi League is at the Editors. I'm actually working on book four of the Stone Series.  I've got a beginning, middle, and end, but now I have to write all the parts in between.  It was really hard to switch series.  It took three weeks before I quit writing the Delphi Series in my head.  I hope it doesn't take that long to switch back. bob

  Hey, I'm struggling to find another good science fiction series.  My preference is no galactic wars and I prefer the ones that work on the science (Hard science).  But I am a sucker for a good space opera.  I'll put this on my blog , send me your recommendations and if I really like one, maybe it'll appear below.

 As you can tell, I'm not a great blogger.  I'm doing this one as a way to procrastinate working on my latest book. When I started my Delphi in Space series I had a clear goal of where I wanted the series to go.  Not the end, but a major milestone.  That goal has driven my writing for the first ten books.  Number ten has just gone through its second draft, so don't get too excited,  It takes three to six months to complete a book. Anyway.  I sat down to write a rough draft of book eleven when I realized that I had arrived at that major milestone and really hadn't thought about where I would take the series after that.   OOPS! Well, I managed to get a good draft for that book, but it was tough and I'm very nervous about book twelve, the one I'm avoiding now.  I have a basic outline and some chapters sketched out, but to make it an interesting book, I'm going to have to stretch my writing skill a bit.  I hope i don't break my fingers:...

As you can tell, I'm a terrible blogger.  Keep forgetting to post stuff that's on my mind until it's too stale to bother with. I've finished the first draft of book ten.  Now I need to let it sit for a while before I go back and try and finish it. I'm playing around with a book four in my Stone Series.  Wonder if my mind is agile enough to deal with both series at the same time.

One of you recently pointed out that I am not following the usual publishing guidelines for formatting.  I'm using the guideline for Non-Fiction instead of the typical fiction template.  I'm doing it because I like the extra white space, I think it makes it easier to keep track of where you are, who's talking, etc.  But of course, I'm writing for you guys, so maybe you don't like it.  I have to admit that I almost exclusively read my books in word since that's what I use to write them and what my editors prefer for correcting all of my mistakes.
