A recent broken hip, the simple, less complex kind where I merely broke the descending thighbone, rather than the central hip's ball & joint socket.
They put in three screws, and I'm midway through rehab, but the longer you aren't writing, the more you forget about writing, so I yet again have a LOT of room to make up for. Though I've gained a LOT of Quora friends.
My current story is also mid-way through revisions (18-chapters total), though this is likely to be my last work. I may be able to keep going, yet it gets more problematic all the time (not that very many remember who I am at this point).
No idea whether I'll publish it under my name, or an all-new pseudonym.
After a prolonged, three-year delay, I'm currently working on two different stories. One, a fun, erotic, rom-com, Mother-Dance, is about a man who picks up a mother and her adult daughter at his ex's wedding. This one is eight chapters so far, with no definite end in sight yet.
The other is intended as a longer saga, and is already at 18 chapters, and is currently a full novel in length. It's entitled Nowhere … Like Home? about a man who's transported to a stone-age period, on a far-distant, alien world, and the transition effectively wiped his memory. This is the more promising of the two, and again, I have no final length (words, nor chapters) planned yet. It'll grow as much, or as little, as it wants. Though, if necessary, I may cut it into separate books at some point. However I have no plans to, at this point.
I'll update this post, once either story nears completion. I'm also considering a repost (with graphics) of my long-archived Great-Death series, now retitled Extinction Event. There are only limited changes in the earliest chapters, mainly for clarity, but it also tightens my earlier, more verbose and cludgy writing style.
As Lezeez has recently opened up reviews for Bookapy books, I'd REALLY appreciate it if some of you who've read the stories post reviews, so Bookapy readers can get a better idea of which books are worth reading/purchasing.
By the way, I've noticed that no one has read or asked about my newest book, The Holes Binding Us Together (Bookapy doesn't report of file views). Unfortunately, the book description doesn't list many details, as there are a LOT of surprises in the story, and even listing the primary conflicts would be significant story spoilers.
Given the lack of responses, I'm considering revising the book's descriptions. There's nothing troublesome about the book, but two of the characters' backstories involved a history of past childhood sexual abuse (no descriptive details included), which is a major squick for many readers. As such, I fear listing the additional details won't encourage any more readers to consider the story. But the details help readers understand why the characters respond as they do.
Curious how the Bookapy site is fairing, since authors aren't getting any notices or getting any comments from the site, I checked the book sales, not really expecting to see any.
So far, unsure how long the site has been open to the public, I've sold a half-dozen books, including one 3-book box set. It's a nice surprise, when I really wasn't anticipating anything.
For those interested in my books, ALL my books (aside the those unpublished) are now on the Bookapy site, so you can easily purchase them directly (a couple clicks away, at least) from SOL.
Thanks for your support, and I'll start posting soon, but I'm waiting until my next book is ready for publishing first.
I've already unpublished my entire Catalyst and Great Death series as I undertake rewriting them. The complete rewrite of Catalyst is a long-term project, while the revision of the Great Death series is a simplification of the language to make it an easier and faster read. As such, I'm going to 'retire' the entire Great Death series, just as I did the earlier Catalyst books.
If you want to save them for posterity (or to compare what I do with them), grab them now, as they'll be unavailable soon.
