After selling 200 copies of Kody’s Wild Heartsbooks, I decided a sequel was in order. Kody and I kicked around some ideas and after discovering an old abandoned farm (and exploring it) we came up with the “Ghost” of an idea about what the sequel should be about.

The first line of this new story has Simon Black Elk asking Charlie a question: “How strong is the bond between a boy and his dog?”

The following questions came to mind: Does this bond reach beyond Death? Do dogs even have a soul? It is a claim that People have souls, but what about Man’s Best Friend? Doesn’t a creature that has so much potential to give and receive love, have to have some kind of spiritual connection? 

I explore this concept in Wild Hearts, Too.

Stag Heart Book Three is nearly finished. All total I had 1,550 sheets of yellow paper with my Hyra-glyphic scrawling on them, but with the new Dragon Speaking Naturally program I was able to record the story. As I read into a microphone, the computer switched my reading  into text! 

Rivermoon, a Sci Fi thriller is up to chapter 14. 

Lionstone Book One, The Jewel Folk, is being tested right now by a reader, and it is nearly ready to go to press.

Out of the Storm, a sequel to Beyond the Wind, is up to chapter 20. Its characters are waiting for me to return to the story so they can get on with their lives, as troubled as they might be.

The Life and Times of Reason Nelson is up to chapter 16. It is the 4th book in the Havelock series.

Behind the Eight Ball, the story behind the story, is up to chapter 16, but hasn’t been touched for awhile.

So while I have a whole load of unfinished stories, life goes on. And between rescuing dogs and helping other writers to publish their own works, I do squeeze in time to write. One day, I will have the books finished. But what then?
