[books] Sunspin

Apropos of nothing in particular, I now have proposed titles for the three books that compromise the Sunspin cycle. Apparently, the projects are queueing in my head.

In order:
  • Calamity of So Long A Life

  • The Whips and Scorns of Time

  • Be All Our Sins Remembered


This time, unlike my last two trilogies, I intend to write it as one continuous, planned arc. With luck, I'll start drafting in January, take a break in March or April to revise Kalimpura, and then resume to be done with the first draft this project by summer. I figure a minimum of five elapsed (not calendar) months to lay down the first pass of this, and that's if I write fairly short and at speed.

For those just tuning in, Sunspin is my planned Big Idea space opera, sort of a fusion of contemporary New British and 1970's psuedofeudalism, with a blue collar tinge and a deep dose of paranoia. So far I've published about half a dozen short stories set in this continuity, and have an incomplete (at 70 pages) outline for the trilogy.

And yes, after Sunspin, Original Destiny, Manifest Sin.
