I have plans for the next few Ethshar stories, but the only one that’s really getting written right now is a short story called “The Harvest.” Right now I’m sort of between major projects.Ĭharming Sharra, the next Ethshar story, is complete and sold to Wildside, but the intended cover artist has had health issues, so it’ll probably be Vincent di Fate doing the cover art, and it may be delayed - Wildside originally intended to have it out this fall, but we’ll see. Well, you can always check my Works in Progress for where current projects stand - I generally don’t let that get more than a month or two out of date.

I hadn’t realized how long I’d neglected this until I was notified of a comment needing moderation and discovered that I didn’t even have the password for this blog on my current computer. Posted on Novemby Lawrence Watt-Evans Well, that took awhile. Not sure whether I’ll get “The Girl Who Couldn’t Fly” done next, or get serious on a novel. It’s set in a sort of mythic version of small-town America. The one I haven’t finished yet is “The Girl Who Couldn’t Fly,” nine pages/2,200 words so far I started it in 2004(!). “Three Days Late for the Hanging” is a fantasy western, 6,800 words, with the setting deliberately vague but probably Colorado in 1878 or thereabouts I started writing it on a whim in 2014, and finally got it done. I started it in June at the request of a reader. “The Harvest” is an Ethshar story, 7,300 words, set in the year YS 5202 on a wheat farm eighty miles north of Ethshar of the Spices. Not counting stories for specific anthologies, I have now finished two of the three I had going: I haven’t gotten serious about a new novel since finishing Tom Derringer & the Electrical Empire oh, I’ve added a page here and a page there, but haven’t focused on one.
