This year’s National Novel Writing Month challenge is “Finish All The Things.” My 2015 flagship project is Ship’s Heart, the first book of the trilogy whose middle act I wrote in 2013 (Inside the Jump).

The novel has existed in outline since April 2014, but it’s only now that words are coming out fast. I’ve worked on it from time to time, but the only words I’ll be counting are the ones I write in November.

Here’s a preliminary excerpt. More will be coming!
