Actually, it has been nearly two weeks since my last update. I upgraded this site to WordPress 3.2 (now 3.2.1) and it is not playing nice at all with Firefox 5.0 or Google Chrome 12.0.742.122.

Some of you know that I have been back in school for the last two years. The class I just completed was more intensive than most and was facilitated by an extremely demanding (read: picky) facilitator, so work on my various projects has been slow. The good news is that I have no class for the next five weeks, so I will  be able to do a lot.

In the past two weeks Geoff and I added a little bit of polish to the chapters in Star Trek Soldiers of Pawns: War and Peace that I finished prior to my last update. I only managed to complete one new chapter and still have to take a final pass through it before I send it to Geoff. That’s it. That’s all I got done. I look forward to picking up the pace a lot during this break.

We’re back! The site has been offline for a few weeks due to technical issues and an unavoidable delay in correcting them, but all is well again…I hope!

During those past few weeks I finished four more chapters in Star Trek Soldiers of Pawns: War and Peace. The first of those chapters was a brand new one—another one featuring Gary Mitchell, whose role has grown immensely as this story has developed. The second spends more time with James T. Kirk and Captain Christopher Pike as they discuss the very unusual situation in which they have found themselves. The third looks at a separate but related situation through the eyes of one of our Klingon antagonist. The fourth returns to Gary Mitchell’s predicament and introduces someone who Star Trek fans will recognize, sort of, and promises to be a lot of fun while developing Mitchell’s character in a way no one has seen before.

I also continued developing some of the Omniverse Productions comics shortly after the site went down, bringing two more titles, Solfleet and Recon 7, much closer to the point where I will be ready to begin scripting. As I posted in Facebook then, Recon 7 has gone through about half a dozen title changes in the process, so I’m not sure what I’m going to call it at this point.
