Smashwords Interview

Who is actually answering these questions?
My name is Jim Gravelyn, owner of Travelyn Publishing (https://www.travelynpublishing.com/Home.html). In addition to the books that I’ve published under my own name, I have also published one as J. P. Travis, contributed to other original works as ghost writer and editor, and re-published many public domain books.
What are you working on next?
I’m all over the map with what I’m writing. I have a three science fiction books in progress, a non-fiction book about forlorn hopes (military forlorn hopes, not romantic ones), a hard to categorize novel which is a weird little twist on “Left Behind,” a tongue-in-cheek dating book, and a non-fiction book about caring for my parents in their final years. Plus some others that slip my mind right now. It’s ridiculous how many books I have in progress at a given moment. Perhaps if I wrote one book at a time they would get finished faster.
