Writing Update April 2023

Happy Wednesday Scribblers. I hope you are all having a great week. It’s been a minute since I provided a writing update, so I thought I would give you an update today on what’s happening in my writing world and I have a new project that I’m excited to share with you. I also have a fun giveaway announcement that I can’t forget to tell you about.

As you all may have seen, I finished Mu; Legend of a Lost City and I got some amazing feedback from my Beta Readers, which is always helpful. Today I’m thrilled to be able to share the current blurb with you, keep in mind the blurb may change:

For years, the whispers and legends of a lost city hiding in the Pacific Ocean were just that; legend. On the day Kaimi discovers his parents, the Queen and King of Mu, murdered, Mu’s most powerful weapon fired, sending a pulse rushing towards the North American west coast.

After the 2025 Great Pacific Pulse Event, or Pulse, vomited up much of humankind’s trash in the Pacific Ocean along the North American west coast. The mysterious occurrence causing the largest environmental disaster in human history, people are no longer certain there is nothing concealed in the depths of the ocean. Scientist Karen Linn and billionaire investor Michael Donovan want to find out what actually happened that day five years ago. Will Michael’s life in the adult entertainment industry and Karen’s moniker in pseudoscience keep them as social pariahs, or are they on the cusp of finding a civilization that has been kept out of our grasp, deep in the world’s largest ocean? How does the event from five years ago tie into the murder of the Queen and King of Mu? What lies under the sea may be bigger than anyone can imagine, and neither civilization may be ready for the truth.

What do you think? Are you excited for the book to come out? I know I am. Let’s hope my publisher is as well. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Next up, I’m really excited to announce that I’ve been quietly working on my next project. Now you might think that I’m talking about the last book of my A New World series and you would be partially correct. However, over the last several weeks I’ve been working on something else. Something new. Something I’m excited to announce to you today.

A Haunted House (Working Title)

I’ve been researching and speaking with various folks about writing a new suspense novel about a modern-day haunted house that takes place here in the heart of Silicon Valley. I don’t want to give too much away at this point but what I can share is the following:

  • A family moves into their brand-new dream home in a new neighborhood in San Jose, CA

  • Events happen that bring a whole neighborhood together in fear and in the unexplained

  • How will this new community of strangers and neighbors deal with the paranormal that is afflicting them and their surroundings. Is this a single apparition, a haunting, a poltergeist, or something worse, a demon?

  • Will they find help and turn their nightmares back into their dreams?

For my inspiration I want to share a picture of a dreamy suburban home that has always brought joy to me. If you know, you know.

If you know, you know.
