Okay, it’s not something completely new. But now that Phoenix Rising is in the edit phase, I need to get to work on another story.

So I’m planning to return to the Shifting Sands Ranch, just outside San Antonio and revisit Cy and Bobby Lee, the heroes of my short novella, Snake Charmer which will appear in the anthology Shifting Sands due out from MLR … sometime. *g* The antho has yet to be assigned a slot in the publishing schedule, but it’s coming. I promise.

All the stories are set on a ranch in Texas. Daniel, the ranch owner, and the men who work for him have been cursed by a witch. Doomed to assume their “alternative forms” during the full moon, each must find love and acceptance in spite of the curse. Only when they have all done that can they hope to be free.

I turned in the partial for this story a couple of months ago, and the full manuscript isn’t due to the editor for another couple months. But now that I’m sort of between projects I want to get it finished so I can get started on another novel-length work.

So that’s the plan.
