It’s been a while since I’ve had a new publication to discuss, but the time is now!

Back in 2022, I celebrated the release of the first pulp fiction collection starring Radio Rita, an original character created by Airship 27.

In addition to being a new character, Rita was also unique in that she wasn’t a set character but instead was interpreted differently by each writer.

My version of Rita was a 1950s secret agent sent on a mission to an isolated village.

Now a second collection is available! The Adventures of Radio Rita Volume Two is another set of four stories by four different writers, each with our own vision for the main character once again.

I’ve continued the adventures of Rita the secret agent from my previous story. This time, she’s sent on a mission to rescue a scientist she met during the war… and partnered with a stuffy agent she can’t stand.

I hope you’ll enjoy it and the other stories in The Adventures of Radio Rita Volume Two! It’s available from Amazon in both ebook form and print, and it’s also available in PDF form directly from Airship 27.

2026 Writing Goals

Last year I switched how I was handling my yearly writing goals, and it went pretty well.

My goals for 2025 were to finish my current in-progress short story, write and submit at least two more pulp fiction stories, and continue working on short stories.

I failed that first goal but succeeded at the other two. That’s left me even more motivated heading into 2026, so here we go!

By 2027, I will:

  • Resume querying agents about my completed novels.
  • Continue writing short stories.
  • Resume submitting short stories for publication.

Yes, after taking some time to focus on short stories, I found that I’d like to resume sending queries for my novels. On top of that, my renewed short story energy means I should start submitting those again as well, something I hadn’t done since 2021. In fact, I already submitted one short story this year… and got my first rejection letter of the year.

But hey, you can’t get a story accepted if you don’t try.

For my fellow writers out there, what are your 2026 writing plans and goals?

It’s Time for Personal WriMo 2025!

October is finished, this year’s Celebrating All Things Spooky contest winners have been contacted, and… there’s no NaNoWriMo this November.

Last year, I had already decided not to use the official site and did my own Personal WriMo instead, and this year the official NaNoWriMo isn’t even there as an option.

But that’s okay. I’ll just do a Personal WriMo and track it right here once again!

I also have it displayed in the header again, although… I’ll try to see if there’s a way to make the font more readable. At least the progress bar is there.

Personal WriMo 2025
Phase:November
100%

I’m off to a good start, with just over 6,000 words written at the time of posting this.

Last year I wrote short stories, but this year it’s time for another novel! I have an idea for a romantic mystery novel that I’ve begun work on, something a bit different from my usual stories. Will it hold up for a full 50,000 words? I certainly hope so!

Are you doing any sort of NaNoWriMo-esque challenge this November?
