I broke ground on a new novel series today

It's called the Tombstone Series, a trilogy of horror novels for tween readers. The first novel in the series is called Pumpkins. I actually outlined it last fall while on a trip to Brisbane, but I haven't had time to start writing it until now. The second book is called The Judges, and it will actually be an adaptation of a film script of the same name that I wrote some time ago but was never satisfied with--until now! As for book three, that idea hasn't fully coalesced into a title yet, but it will soon.

Unlike the Milligan Creek Series, which follows a chronological order and features the same central cast in each novel, each title in the Tombstone Series will feature an entirely different cast, the connective tissue being a haunting of sorts. I'm hoping this doesn't delay the release of my fifth Milligan Creek novel, Snowbound, but I feel the need to explore another world right now creatively, so if it puts things off by a few months, I know that by the time I return to Milligan Creek, I will feel refreshed and ready for the next chapter in that story.
