Family Friday Update

Hello Space Cadets, I hope this post finds you well and in good health. The American Thanksgiving Holiday has just passed and the process of recovering from the food coma’s have begun. If you’re participating in the Great NaNoWriMo, I wish you many words and hope your journey is well on its way.

Speaking of the NaNo, I’m behind but still within the realm of finishing the 50,000 words in 30 days. I’m working on Operation Breakout, the third novel in my Sleeping Legion series. I’ve also put some words into two short stories and some last-minute revisions of Fortress Beta City. That’s the second novel in the Sleeping Legion series. The first two novels in the series should be in ready to leave me and wander into the big bad jungles of the Amazon. I’ll post more as soon as my editor and boss give me more information. My current word count is 35,939 words across several projects related to the series I’m currently writing. I am behind, but it is definitely salvageable!

As for my interview series, they will come as soon as the authors I’ve contacted respond. I will keep you posted, and unless I have something to say this will be the last post marked in the series until my interview requests start coming in. Since I can’t offer you an author’s interview, let me instead recommend a book by J.R.R. Tolkien, The Children of Húrin. It’s his first complete book since the 1977 publication of The Silmarillion. If you loved the Lord of the Rings, you’ll love this!

Until next time, stay frosty and don’t forget to keep your powder dry!

J.R. Handley is a pseudonym for a family writing team. He is a veteran infantry sergeant with the 101st Airborne Division and the 28th Infantry Division. His family is the kind of crazy that interprets his insanity into cogent English. He writes the sci-fi while they proofread it. The sergeant is a two-time combat veteran of the late unpleasantness in Mesopotamia where he was wounded, likely doing something stupid. He started writing military science fiction as part of a therapy program suggested by his doctor, and hopes to entertain you while he attempts to excise his demons through these creative endeavors. In addition to being just another dysfunctional veteran, he is a stay-at-home parent, avid reader and all-around nerd. Luckily for him, his family joins him in his fandom nerdalitry.
