Even as House of Sand with Captain William Carter has been accepted for the Sand and Storm anthology, I am working on the Battle of Cypress Swamp for Raconteur’s Wyrd War 3 anthology. It is a story I have wanted to tell for years. I originally intended to do the Battle of San Juan Hill, but my meuse kept going back to the Cypress Swamp, so I gave my meuse the reins and I’m happy with my progress. The story is done. I just have to tune it up to publishing level. And while I’m writing that one, I’m thinking about a dogfight story with Captain Jack Hart. I’ve got the base starting scene done, and think I’ve got a good handle on the rest. Then I’ve got to brainstorm my magical cold war story. I’ve got an idea. I just have to see how it survives being thrown against the wall.
