Michael Loucks: Blog

I simply want to say a heartfelt 'Thank you' to all who voted for me for Author of the Year. I was as surprised to win this award as I was the first one in 2015.

I, like Steve in my series A Well-Lived Life, don't go for long-winded speeches, so I'll simply say, once again, 'Thank you'.

I have other work in progress. Check my Wiki for details and publication dates.

Now that I've submitted Chapter 4 of AWLL2 Book 8 - NIKA for posting, I've enabled voting on the story.

Thanks to everyone who has written to me about the story! I'm glad you're enjoying it!

As promised, I've submitted the Prologue and first chapter of A Well-Lived Life 2: Book 8 - NIKA to the moderators. New chapters will be posted daily.
