I'm actually in both threads for different categories, Author in Progress for the novels (curses upon thee, 72 hour work week and dodgy power/internet!) and here for a table-top RPG, of all things. Not sure if that counts, per se, but I am the writer and lead game developer (the latter against my will) for Dark Nova Games. The Dark Nova RPG comes out in May (debuting at Comicpalooza in Houston, where I'll be chained to a table next to our lead artist for the amusement of the rotten-vegetable-hurling public... kinda like the stocks for artists and authors), for which I wrote the entire setting, designed the races, most of the ships and vehicles, and wrote the four starter missions included in the main manual. Since I JUST got back CONUS and completed my last contract for a while, I have subsequently been chained to a laptop and ordered to work on the second book in the RPG series by my whip-cracking masters ..errr, bosses :D . There is no end to the torment, however, for upon completion of my work my family and friends take up their whips and demand that I finish the novels and submit them. Is there any light at the end of the tunnel? :D

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean....started as a fiction writer on the Battletech line, and gone on to some writing for an upcoming battletech product. Hope to expand beyond that soon enough.
Welcome!

Breandan:
Aaaaaaaaaaaand I finally officially published :D the RPG hit the printers last night, publisher should have it out in two weeks :)
Snowleopard:
Congratulations Breandan - way to go.
Breandan:
As I mentioned in the other thread, I finally got to see the finished product today... and we now have an RPG manual thicker than most college textbooks! :o
Perhaps I was a bit TOO verbose, since my writing- the setting and descriptions- takes up 2/3rds of the book :D
Mishell:
I wasn't sure whether to introduce myself as an author in progress or a published author. I've yet to publish a novel, but have sold 4 short stories and am a member of SFWA. You can read stories of mine here, here, and here, and the fourth one's out later this year in Electric Velocipede. I'm in the process of writing an urban fantasy novel now, which is what brings me into Jim Butcher's orbit. That, and I interviewed him a couple weeks ago for the Clarion Blog.
Nice to meet everyone!
