I believe I am finished writing Quiet Beneath the Moon. I plan to push it as a love story set in the final stage of our devolution where life or extinction hangs in the balance. I don't expect any publishers to want it but I intend to ask anyway.

Major changes to my current story
Major structural changes. I made the chapters longer, cutting the count from twenty plus to twelve. Moved the prologue into one of the chapters so that a reader will not feel slapped in the face with it before they get any story.

About Clones in Fiction
Many people use "clone" when they actually mean something else. A cloned human would have to grow from infancy same as any child, yet in many stories they appear as duplicates of someone.

Latest project.
Doing a total makeover of a short story from a few years ago. It was titled A GLEAM OF METAL, I think. I have several that I believe I can do better now.
The EndEarthers is about 45,000 words. I am thinking about going full book length by adding this and a few other stories.

Quoting Toni Morrison
“Characters are like ghosts. They have nothing on their minds but themselves and aren’t interested in anything but themselves. You can’t let them write your book for you.” —Toni Morrison
