Title: The Ageless Planets

Synopsis: Timothy D’Argo thought that his heist of the Scepter of Bornhold’s Glory would be his ticket out of his life of crime. Instead, he found himself beset by agents on all sides, the Scepter at risk, and assassins around every corner.

Now Timothy D’Argo must recover his ticket to freedom, ascertain the motives of those who also want the Scepter, and stay one step ahead of those who would stop him. Only the Scepter’s forbidden power might be enough to keep him alive.

Notes: My first-ever NaNoWriMo win. I’d tried, and failed, twice before (that I can remember), and I had a whole bevy of excuses for why I didn’t succeed or even try to win. These included such gems as “I’m too busy at work,” “I don’t have a good story idea,” and “I’m having major surgery.” 2009 was the year I finally buckled down, committed to winning, and did so.

Editors: You know who you are. If you want to read a draft manuscript, drop me an email and I’ll consider it. Feedback is always good.
