VeryWellAged: Blog

The last of my Quarantine Chronicles stories will be posted, probably, in March on my website VeryWellAged.com,

It has been sent to my editor for his touch, rooting out the ungrammatical and the errant commas.

Once again, I truly wish I could post it here. However, the story both violates this site's rules (which are required by Canadian Law) and format issues.

For what it is worth, I wish this site's webmaster/owner only the best. He has my deepest respect. This site is important.

Normally, there is a small but steady number of downloads on my stories here. I come by regularly just to see if there is any mail I need to answer, as I haven't posted anything new here for years (an issue I have explained in earlier blog posts). But now the downloads quadrupled or quintupled or more.

Yes, I know that ASSTR is dead, but I had moved off of that platform a couple of years ago, just leaving a set of html files there that redirect to my own website, verywellaged.com.

But in the last couple of days readership here has increased dramatically and more readers have added me to their libraries. At the same time, I am not seeing as much traffic to my own website. It is all very confusing.

The Quarantine Chronicles: Lee can be found at: https://verywellaged.com/QuarantineLee/index.html

I wish I could post it here, but as you will see, both its content and its format are not supported here.

This is September 10th and in five days I will release my next novel, Quarantine Chronicles: Lee, on my website, VeryWellAged.com. The link to it will be found at the very bottom of the primary index, as oldest stories are listed first and the newest at the end. To those, who have been writing me, bemoaning the loss of ASSTR, I only wish to note that I left that site years ago. To those who wish I was posting here, I can only, regretfully, say, it is not possible, due to two issues: content and format. My content is not allowed here and the format here does not support my work.

I know it has been a long time. Sometimes I get blocked for a long time. But I just finished the first draft of Quarantine Chronicles: Lee

I have a first re-read proof to do and an audio proof to do, but then it will be ready for an expert's proof/edit.

It is well over seventy thousand words now and possibly longer after my to initial edits. This one is darker than previous works.

I expect it to be posted on my own website in September or October. It contains elements that make posting it here impossible.
