AL-Canadian: Blog

Hey folks - Sorry for the delay in getting a new chapter out but I've been out of town and away from my computer for a good while. I just got chapter 18 edited and ready for submission.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions on from previous blog post. I'll try to get back with you on them shortly.

Hey folks - I'll be out of town and away from my computer for a couple of weeks. I'll try to 're-edit' a couple of completed chapters and submit them but I can't promise anything really until mid-late June.

Thanks for all the good responses to my last blog post on the NIS story line. A few of you had some good suggestions and I may try to hit you up on a thought or two on that topic.

Have a great summer!

I've had a few readers write about either their likes or disgust with my inclusion of the 'Naked In School' story line in a previous chapter of After the Energists. I didn't think that would cause that much of a commotion as I've made several prior references to it in the first two books of this story series, and once, briefly, in the chapter about the Valentine's Dance.

Everyone's email messages were cordial and I've swapped messages with those readers on this topic. I simply hope everyone will give this story a chance to put a hopefully different spin on what is one of my favorite story universes. Additionally, that NIS story line won't be happening for a good while yet, as it is still mid-February, and Mike and his crew won't experience that surprise until the middle to end of October in the following school year.

If you're strongly opposed to anything involving the NIS universe, please drop me a line and I promise to give you a heads up prior to submitting any 'lead up' NIS story issues. I'll have to incorporate some of this lead up within Book 3, or I fear that new twist on Mike's rebooted life won't make sense.

Thanks again for reading my story. All comments are greatly appreciated and I'll do my best to get with you ASAP on them.

Chapter 16 of After the Energists was just sent in. I mean to submit it on Friday but things got harried around the university as our 'May-term' summer session is winding down (last week of a 3 week term).

The pace of the story might slow down some during the month of June as I'll be off gallivanting between two or three countries. My wife says computer time and access will be limited as we're traveling. I'll be able to answer emails or comments on the story though.

Also, I'll get to some of your email questions/comments later this morning (after my class).

Thanks for reading and all the comments (even a few less than positive ones!)

Chapter 15 of Book 3 was just submitted. I've gotten a new 2nd editor 'anonymous' to help with my story and writing. Hopefully with 3 people now having a 'rip' at my work, it will be a much more polished product.

I hope you've enjoyed what I've done so. Comments, both positive and not so positive are always welcome.
