I've been working for over two months now on Book 8 in the Loosening Up series. I've also been helped with the suggestions from a dozen 'fans' and for that I am thankful. I expect to start posting around Thanksgiving.
One other feature of the posting is a EDIT of all the previous books. I admit to embarrassment at some of the trivial errors that escaped not only me, but also my dedicated editor. I suspect, like all written work, there are still some lurking typos. Let me know, and I'll correct them.
I wanted to comment on the hundreds of suggestions I received. For one, while I am a science fiction fan, I don't write too far into that genre - about as far as perhaps having an innovative product or two (batteries, super iPhones, etc.). Having alien sex fiends invade the Circle and do a mind-meld with all the Circle members was not on MY agenda, but several suggestions verged on those ideas.
Further on Suggestions: I don't want those who gave to me to think that because I didn't use some of them, I didn't appreciate them. I did. I noted that some suggestions, even the ones with aliens, made me think further outside the box about what the characters in the story could or should be doing. Thus, suggestions A, B, and C that I didn't use, resulted in R, S, and T in the story with lots of thinking in between.
Just to give you further peek into my life, I just got my right knee replaced with metal and plastic parts that will hopefully soon be working better than the original equipment that wore out after over seventy years. I'm suffering through the healing process now and have fallen in love with an ice machine that circulates cold water in a knee wrap and numbs things. People didn't do things like this when I was a kid, but then most people didn't live this long.
Back to the Word document on my laptop that represents about 250 pages of single space text in Book 8.
By the way, I do accept the recommendation of one comment, and that is to just NOT end the story. So, maybe in the future there'll be Book 9, 10, and so on. This will be like the 'Rocky' movies.
Enjoy life. Namaste.
