Regina McMenomy, Ph.D. liked an update for Deus Hex Machina

Today is a big day, one that I have been dreading and anticipating in equal measure. Today, I officially start editing Deus Hex Machina and building my second draft.

Here’s what the process looks like. Staples is now my spirit animal: 

For the next 30 days it’s my plan to implement the changes I have noted down on those little blue cards, honing my first draft into a stronger, more coherent second. When that is done, I will be more than ready to move from alpha reading into beta. As before, let me know if you’re interested.

Once I have the second draft returned from beta readers I’ll hash out a third draft, and then I should be ready to submit to Inkshares by the end of the year. For those that like timelines (and so that I have some accountability for my process) here is what I have planned for the next year:



Like any plan, this will probably change around a bit. Generally though, I am planning to write two books a year, and fund one novel in each series. This doesn’t include other projects I want to be part of, collaborations like Too Many Controllers and Makhaira, so my schedule is going to need to be a little fluid should something awesome come up that I want to take part in. I’m also toying with the idea of funding Shadow of the Owl again before I  fund the sequel. There is just something very appealing about having the entire series under the Inkshares publishing umbrella. 

Speaking of series, for those of you curious minded folks out there, Deus Hex Machina is a trilogy, and Shadow of the Owl et al is a series with six books planned.
So if you look at that calendar, you’ll be able to extrapolate out and figure out what I have planned for the year after that. 


TL;DR: Lots of writing will be happening, mostly in my two main series so if you’re eager to find out what happens to Mylena or Isidore, fear not, books are coming.

 If you have any questions, comment here or hit me up on Twitter @amandaorneck.

Enjoy the silence!

    Regina McMenomy, Ph.D. liked an update for Tantalus Depths

    Tantalus Depths takes place at the edge of the galactic frontier, trillions of light-years away from home. But the home they left behind to embark on this journey is very different from the Earth we know...

    Earth has seen better days. Until now its greatest enemy was its own children. It has only been within the last few decades, since humanity has fully begun to spread out among the stars, that it has begun to properly heal.
    But as the galaxy beyond Earth has proven to be so strangely lifeless, it’s possible that Earth has been, in fact, very lucky after all...
    Find out if that luck holds out, when you order Tantalus Depths.

        I'm not sure how lucky our lead "Lucky" is going to be in this story but I can't wait to find out!

        Lucky was going home when she’s suddenly in the middle of an interstellar conspiracy. Who can she trust when she doesn’t know anyone?
