Thanks to everyone who has sent a note regarding one or more Cosimo's tales.

The latest story, "Seventh Day" finishes the transition of Cosimo from his introduction in "In the Red Wing" to his new life and home situation in Cardino.

The next story is a multi-chapter tale exploring more of the culture and characters Cosimo meets during the high social season. It also introduces plot elements that will span future stories. This will be four parts totaling close to 46,000 words. It is fully written and will begin posting later this month.

As always, thanks for reading.

The next tale in Cosimo's Universe has been submitted for posting and should appear shortly.

I debated making this a two chapter story, or two separate stories. I landed on the latter, but know the next installment will be a three-chapter story instead.

I'll post the second story covering Cosimo's acclamation to his new living situation by the end of April, and begin posting the multi-chapter story in either late May or early June, depending on real-world work commitments.

I hope you enjoy, and thanks for reading.

I've moved "In the Red Wing" into a newly created universe (Cosimo) and submitted the next story in the setting for posting.

While the BDSM or Slavery tags on the first two stories may put people off, I hope there will be enough interest and non-violent content to bring you along on the journey. Three additional stories in the universe are written and will be posted with a fourth underway.

I'm not yet committing to a posting schedule since I may have to revise some parts as the larger story unfolds.

My goal with this series of stories is for each posting to be a continuation of the overall universe, but to stand alone as well. However, I don't plan to re-hash background in each tale, so readers should be aware that the overall story builds on prior segments.

I hope you enjoy, and thanks for reading,

A new story titled "Off Switch"set in the Swarm Universe is coming soon. Chapter 1 has been submitted. It is 4 chapters long, and they are all written. I plan on posting once a week, shooting for Tuesday's, but that will depend on real life :-)

The story has been through multiple review iterations with the Swarm Author's list, whom I owe a big "Thank you" to.

I hope you all enjoy my contribution to the universe.

Just a quick note to let interested readers know I'm still around and writing. However, I'm doing too much writing for my real-life (and not in a good way), and finding too little quality time to write for my alter-ego, aka Charlie Foxtrot.

When I started A New Past, I was on a sabbatical from work, and then as I finished it I was on the road as a consultant with lots of alone time in the evenings. With Covid, my consulting came to an end, and I took a full-time gig working remotely. That has put me at my desk most of the day with little interest in spending more time at my computer in the evenings to work on a chapter or two.

That said, I have been making some slow progress on a few stories. I've got the first couple of chapters in the next Survivor's story, but the characters just aren't holding my interest, so I'm not sure they would hold yours.

The sequel to In the Red Wing is written, but un-edited, as is about half of the third Cosimo tale, but I need to figure out where that story is actually headed rather than just pushing out episodes in the universe.

I've been kicking around ideas for a sequel to A New Past, but am not sure I want to revisit that world right now.

Finally, I've got two out of four chapters written for a new tale in the Swarm Cycle, that I hope to be sharing with the author's list there for feedback and getting it blessed as 'canon'.

I don't know when I'll post a story next, since I won't start posting until the tale is actually finished, but I hope you can read something fresh from me soon.

As always,

Thanks for reading.
