Below is a list of most projects I'm currently working on. This is subject to change on an almost weekly basis - I do need a spreadsheet to keep track.

Follow the blog for the most up-to-date news.

Co-written sequel to "First Blood", unfinished.

Co-written re-telling of the classic tale set in modern age.

Co-written with Raev Gray. To Catch a Spy is a contemporary spy-thriller-romance featuring a menage. Nina and John Breslin are CIA operatives sent to Monte Carlo to investigate Russian mob activity. There, they meet Arkady Stepanov, a Russian ex-pat who becomes a Person of Interest in more than one way.  To Catch a Spy is currently under heavy revisions, but we hope to have it ready to submit by end of May.

Military, gritty fantasy tale about a mercenary who topples the regime of a corrupt priesthood. An epic tale of ritualised gay sex and damaged men in a dog-eat-dog world. Currently at 21k, and looking to become a novel.

This psychological thriller set in the world of finance is currently undergoing revisions.

My WWII novel is currently in chapter 9, and planned to have around 35 chapters. I expect completion during 2010.

Co-written with Raev Gray. Pawn is a m/m novel and is a prequel to To Catch a Spy. It features a May/December romance between young Arkady Stepanov and the second-ranked CIA operative in Moscow. Arkady, the son of Adam's housekeeper, is directed to act as a "honey trap" for Adam, who has crossed spymaster Vladimir Krasnov. Adam and Arkady fall hard for one another, but meanwhile, Krasnov gets closer and closer to catching up to Adam. Pawn's first draft is complete and we plan to start revisions in May.

Co-written with Raev Gray. Chaosborn is a m/m urban fantasy novel that combines magic with physics, or possibly the other way around. Micah Bachman, a professor of quantum physics, discovers he has unusual and uncontrollable powers that make him a tempting target to many organizations who want to use them. One organization sends Voiata, a Russian shaman, to capture him, but Voiata senses a kindred spirit and decides to help Micah instead. Chaosborn is 90% done; we hope to have the first draft completed in around August.

Co-written with Raev Gray. What Price War is a m/m WWII-era urban fantasy in its early stages, featuring Armenian mystic Nazaret and SS officer Hagen, who encounters Nazaret in late 1944, when the Russians are storming across Germany on their way to take Berlin. Hagen has deserted and is trying to get home; Nazaret intends to help him. What Price War is still in the planning stages and will probably be written in 2010.

The story of a Soviet dissident. Currently in research stage. The story might not happen before 2011.

Historical urban fantasy story, co-written with Raev Gray, to be finished before the year is up.
