Here at the Compound, it doesn't know whether it wants to be autumn or winter. It's currently above freezing and rain is coming down. Normally I would've said that sort of weather was unusual for the end of December, but I think the range of what's 'normal' is changing, as far as the weather is concerned.
The book I've been working on -- the fourth in the 'What Was Lost' series -- is now in a new draft. I've set it aside for a while so I can come back to it with fresh eyes and (ideally) see all the typos that have been hiding from me all this time. I'm also working on a cover for it. I'd prefer to make the cover follow the theme of the first three books in the series, but that won't be possible due to a surprisingly-thorough set of computer problems earlier in the year that wiped out the Photoshop files for those covers plus both sets of backups. So instead, I'm probably going to be making entirely new covers for all the books in the series including the new one.
Although I plan to write another in the 'What Was Lost' series (or a few more) in the future, my next book will instead be a pivot to fantasy, where I'll be working on a sequel to 'Summoned'. I'm in a necromancy sort of mood (who isn't?) and there's a story for Donza and Katryn that wants out.
I've got a few other things on the go which are keeping me super busy, but more on that later. For now, it's farewell to 2024 and hello to 2025, a number that sounds incredibly futuristic. I still think we should've had flying cars and holidays on the moon by now.
Happy New Year!
