That’s a tough question as I finish up MILK RUN. I actually completed a draft version of this military SciFi years ago and thought I could just pick it up and do the finishing touches with Beta Reader feedback.
The problem is, I don’t like the ending as it stands. Now that I think about it, that’s probably why I stopped writing it years ago. So, I’ve run into that same roadblock again. I thought I had a good revision worthy for the Beta Readers, but on second thought, I tossed those changes in the virtual recycle bin (actually I saved them in a junk file folder but wanted to use the analogy).
So, what’s next?
I’m working a fourth version that excites me but it is slow going as I need to tie up the story’s loose ends and bring this SciFi to a fantastic big bang ending (sorry for that pun). I’ll keep you abreast of my progress and appreciate my Beta Readers’ patience.

Meanwhile, take a 4 minute airplane ride with me over the Great Smokey Mountains to Pigeon Forge, TN. It’s a much better view than from an economy class airliner seat.
I flew this quick mission, including a great circling aerial view of the town, to scout out my family’s planned reunion to Dolly Pardon’s hometown. If you’ve been there, let me know your experience by commenting below. Click here or the image for the video.
