What’s Next?

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.

And feel free to let me know of any ideas you may have to end this story. Not familiar with MILK RUN? Click here to learn more. And click here to binge read and comment on the already posted chapters (about 45,000 words) as a Beta Reader.

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.

Now, for your Springtime SciFi reading, check out these masterpieces from my fellow authors. Writing can be a lonely business, so I know they will appreciate your encouragement and interest.

Jason “Key” Rokku has just been released from prison after 10 years. Dumped back on the moon, Izanami, of his origin planet (Izanagi) he struggles to make it back into society.

Key comes to Tuck’s attention when he prevents a kidnapping and as a result Tuck offers him a position as a bodyguard.

Tuck’s political ambitions are in jeopardy when he is blackmailed by a former friend who has an embarrassing tape of a drunken Tuck at a party. He sends Key to retrieve the tape, but the opposing political party is also after the tape in the hopes they can end his campaign before it starts. They have hired a Freelancer from the infamous Empire-free VokGuild to mediate with Tuck’s ex-friend and safely courier the tape to them. Key will have his work cut out for him if he hopes to get the tape before it’s too late.
