I have shifted over to working on the first Adara’s Tale novel Practical Exercise. I just passed 38,000 words, so the book is likely about a quarter of the way to completion. The volume could be said to be ‘student at a magical academy’, but there is almost no similarity between Dorrance Academy and various well-known recent examples. Dorrance more closely resembles an American upper-class and graduate school, with a focus on STEM-equivalent majors.

However, here is the cover to Practical Exercise, by the immortal Brad Fraunfelter.

I just finished a year and a half of work to finish Physics One and get about 70,000 LaTeX words into my review volume on computer simulations of polymer dynamics. At the moment I am shifting gears from writing physics in LaTeX to writing fiction.
