Okay, okay, it feels good to have some good news. I know it's not like I normally blast bad news all over this blog, but it's normally nothing as exciting as this.

I finished the rough draft of my latest work in progress and will be publishing it under a new pen name. This second pen name will be used exclusively for what I feel are more commercial/young adult oriented texts.

If I were starting all over again, Brinwood would've probably been published under this second pen name. I want to keep R.K. Gold a relatively selected publishing name from now on. I don't know why. Maybe I'm more protective of the image than I should be. I feel like the more I publish under it the more I expose it to potential tainting.

So I am excited to publish not only a new book, but a new name. Also, I am now back to focusing on my next Gold project: The Absolute. I'm not sure when I will be sending this one out, or if I will publish it under Earl of Plaid, but I know I am making progress on first round (major edits), which is important because there have already been some substantial changes to the plot.

This is an exciting time, I feel like writing under two names will allow me to take more risks and produce more output.

If you can't tell I'm smiling right now, even while writing this post. I am so excited about this.
