bits I’m working on (and stuff already out)

Update on DEBRIS publishing, and Psalms writing

 

I’m trying something different with this one. Amazon recently launched Kindle Vella, which allows writers to publish their stories episodically. As a result, since I’ve just completed the first seven chapters of DEBRIS, I decided to submit the book as a Vella novel, releasing two chapters a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, starting next week.

I’ve still got a ways to go before the book is done (it’ll be around the beginning of November), but Lord willing, I’ll stay far enough ahead to maintain that publishing schedule. I anticipate the final chapter launching in early December, in fact.

Work on the Psalms commentary continues at a slow but steady pace. This is one of biggest books of the Bible I’ve ever tackled (Jeremiah is a hair bigger, and the combined study of Matthew-Luke was a massive undertaking), but it’s been very rewarding, and I still anticipate being done by the end of the year. I’ll finish out the winter months (Jan-March of 2024) completing Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon, Lord willing. After that, I go the beginning and tackle Genesis!

I have something else I’m cooking up that I hope to finish by the end of year, but I’ll save more on that for later.
