The #4 book in the Hobohemia series is finished and in the submission process.It will be titled Rail Baron. Philip Thomas is thrown into Hobohemia to reclaim the vanquished Baltimore And Ohio railroad. Facing him is an old nemisis - the Pennsylvania Railroad. This is the least of his worries as a family curse rises from Hell in the form of the dreaded Midnight Express. He must turn to the yegg king of Blackrock Tunnel for help and a half steam child woman for salvation.
Murder. Necromancy. This is no way to run a railroad.
I am in the first draft of a stand-alone SF book dealing with a young military woman who gets made into a cyborg after a terrible incident. A story of fighting to maintain humanity while being treated like a machine. Trying to avoid some of the tropes will be difficult as pretty much everything has been well traveled.
Champagne Books Group has changed hands again. Cassie did a great job taking over from Ellen but similar circumstances involving time demands brought her praiseworthy seven year stint to an end. She transferred ownership to some good hands and I am grateful for her dedication and compassion for all the authors hitched to CBG. Yes, this will most likely delay my next novel but the alternative would have been much worse. Best of luck to Renee.
