Michael Loucks: Blog

I've uploaded a new ePub with a revised cover (to remove a strange artifact and correct hair color). This version also contains dozens of other corrections to grammar/punctuation/phrasing that have been suggested by readers.

Thanks to everyone who has bought a copy, and please make sure you get the revised version!

Mike's third year of medical school has been, in very simple terms, very hard. Having to put together an entirely new routine centered around your helpless and vulnerable infant daughter, along with continuing to excel academically, would be a strain for anybody finding themselves suddenly a single parent. Although it hasn't been easy, it's yet another test that Mike passes with, by most people's judgement, flying colors. So, where does he go from here?

Today marks the posting of the final chapter of Climbing the Ladder - The Second Rung (aka CTL2). I hope you've enjoyed the story.

I have completed writing Good Medicine - Medical School IV (aka GM8). It consists of 90 chapters and approximately 565,000 words. I will post it to Bookapy on March 15, 2022, and I will begin posting to SOL on April 15, 2023.

Progress continues on all three series, but I have no estimated release dates (completed chapter counts include rough drafts):

A Well-Lived Life - Book 5 - The Pumpkin Patch — 50 chapters complete of an estimated 90.

Climbing the Ladder - Climbing Higher (aka CTL3) — 37 chapters complete, of an estimated 80.

Good Medicine - Residency I (aka GM9) — 28 chapters complete, of an estimated 90–100.

As always, in-progress books are available via my support sites.

I have updated A Well-Lived Life - Book 7 - Kara II. I've corrected grammar, word usage, and punctuation, and incorporated all the corrections sent to me by readers.

The story did not change. If you're keeping an eBook version, you may want to download a new copy.

Revised digital files have been submitted to Bookapy, so if you purchased a copy, you should automatically get the updated version.

Climbing the Ladder - The Second Rung (aka CTL2) is now available on Bookapy. It consists of 52 chapters and approximately 327,000 words. I will begin posting to SOL on January 15, 2023.
