[To Be Determined] — The first if not sequential book in a series is a reboot of a well-known 19th century French author's novel. The original work was complimentary to a female main character, but this protagonist never really received a fair shake. Asking "what if" inspired this work in progress; what if readers could hear directly from this female character, and what if she received an unexpected second chance?

Estimated publication date is July 2018.

A prequel and two sequels that interleave with the first book are also in the works.

__________

[Unnamed Collection] — Nine-plus short stories crossing multiple genres are now in final editing. The works are sci-fi/fantasy/horror with a feminist bent, and are served with a lagniappe of recipes for beverages and dishes inspired by these stories.

Estimated publication date is September 2017.

__________

Rational Creatures (working title) — A collection of interstitial short stories and a novella based upon Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. These works fill in blank spaces Austen left in her novel, while offering outcomes for several of the characters Austen left without resolution.

Estimated publication date is December 2017.
