Goodreads asked Patrick Elliott:

What are you currently working on?

Patrick Elliott I am currently working on seven projects, thankfully most of them are editing things.

I am working on an idea for a comic based on white collar heroes and villains, focusing more on morals and the crimes companies commit and where that grey line is than the street level with an artist buddy. That is a slow process.

I am putting together two books of shorts and novellas, Half Flashed for the tamer stuff, and Too Dark for Television for the really off color and politically themed stuff and some things I just don't really do like poetry. This is in the editing and putting together phase.

The Detective is a dystopian novel in the vein of 1984 set twenty years in the future based on a society where Canada annexed the US into one country and follows a police officer through his daily duties. This is in the edit phase. I am hoping to traditionally publish this but will self publish by the end of the year if I get no bites.

The Last Cowboy is the prequel to a series that has been floating around my mind since high school. It sets up a post apocalyptic world where the battle of good and evil will be fought. It is not horror but maybe urban fantasy? It is so hard to define and my longest work to date.

Eater of the Damned follows Frank Book, a monster hunter. He is foul mouthed, opinionated and he hates the monsters. If you are sick of the over humanization of monsters this is the book for you when it is done. The book starts with him going on about how idiotic it is that we use literature to turn monsters into heroes. This is in the writing phase.

Last is an entry for the the Writers of the Future contest. This is where most of the novellas come from. If you would like to help me out so I have more time for real writing I would love that. Just go buy my book because when I reach a certain level of sales I can't enter this one anymore.
