New novel in progress

If you enjoyed The Day is Full of Birds you might be pleased to know I'm working on a new sci-fi metaverse novel. 'Beside an Open Window' is now about 10,000 words in and I'm planning on adding to this at a fairly leisurely pace over the remainder of February and March, doing a writing month in April and then finishing off over May and June. The novel is set 50 to 100 years into the future and looks at how the metaverse might have developed by then. As with Birds, the book is third person and follows a more traditional narrative fashion, rather than the mixture of narrative and SL dialogue employed by AFK and Be right back.

The Day is Full of Birds (2008) by Huckleberry H. Hax

I can see the metaverse; I can perceive it...  I see dust.  I see shadows.  I see things moved by the wind.  I see the wrinkles around your mouth and eyes, George; I hear your breathing.  I see the way your eyes move in time with the way your intonation goes up and down.  And then, in  an instant, I see only pixels again.

1989.  Europe is poised on the brink of revolution; or is it?  Two decades later, the consequences of one small event have turned a world on the brink of peace into a world that is hurtling towards war.  Only Henry, a loner in both the real world and the online world he visits, has the power to roll everything back.  As tensions between America and the Soviet Union escalate, Henry's worlds start to merge, taking him back towards a moment in his history he has spent most of his life trying to forget.
