Just a quick note to let interested readers know I'm still around and writing. However, I'm doing too much writing for my real-life (and not in a good way), and finding too little quality time to write for my alter-ego, aka Charlie Foxtrot.
When I started A New Past, I was on a sabbatical from work, and then as I finished it I was on the road as a consultant with lots of alone time in the evenings. With Covid, my consulting came to an end, and I took a full-time gig working remotely. That has put me at my desk most of the day with little interest in spending more time at my computer in the evenings to work on a chapter or two.
That said, I have been making some slow progress on a few stories. I've got the first couple of chapters in the next Survivor's story, but the characters just aren't holding my interest, so I'm not sure they would hold yours.
The sequel to In the Red Wing is written, but un-edited, as is about half of the third Cosimo tale, but I need to figure out where that story is actually headed rather than just pushing out episodes in the universe.
I've been kicking around ideas for a sequel to A New Past, but am not sure I want to revisit that world right now.
Finally, I've got two out of four chapters written for a new tale in the Swarm Cycle, that I hope to be sharing with the author's list there for feedback and getting it blessed as 'canon'.
I don't know when I'll post a story next, since I won't start posting until the tale is actually finished, but I hope you can read something fresh from me soon.
As always,
Thanks for reading.
