What do you think about...
Yup, it’s me again. I’m going to keep this one short.
I was at an art event a few weeks ago for an artist known as My Pet Skeleton who had a gorgeous Krampus piece that reminded me of a Christmas collection in I was in a few years ago. The Christmas Kills collection has 11 Christmas-inspired horror short stories, including Gift of Carols from the Barrier Witch series.
And speaking of the Barrier Witch universe, it’s a not very secret secret that I want to go back to that when I’m done with Heavy Metal Hunters. It’s still a lot of work ahead of me, but I am starting to see the light. The Big Project will be the Elias Harper series that I promise, started, didn’t like, and then set aside because I just had to write these two very specific scenes that required three more Hunters books. But! I’ve figured out what I didn’t like about it, so I think it’ll be easier the second time around.
I’ve also been tossing around a smaller idea that I could maybe start on a little sooner. It’s actually an idea I’ve been tossing around for many years.
So my question is, how would you feel about a serial series (think like a TV season) about Angelo the phoenix as an exorcist’s apprentice following the events of the Barrier Witch series? My thought is to share each chapter to Substack for free and then bundle the whole thing up for sale when it’s done. I’ve never done a serial before, and I think the new format will be a fun thing to try.
I am still planning on writing a modern Bloody Morningstar book. I haven’t forgotten about that. This is just a bit of a palate cleanser while I’m editing.
