Mutiny on the Bunte Kuh must have shown up in SOL's streams, because the number of downloads jumped tremendously. More important to me, was the increase in folks choosing to vote. I thank you.
I have another Swarm story sitting on my computer. It needs something, but I can't make it work the way I want. I think partly because I'm again pushing the boundaries of the Swarm Cycle universe. A lot!
I think I told you I tripped, fell, and fractured several cervical vertebrae and messed up my left arm and hand. Four surgeries for those last year, and this January I was in Jamaica and had a subdural hematoma. Had to have two holes drilled into my skull and the excess blood drained. The surgeon and after care in the Jamaican hospital were as good or better than in the USA. Much less expensive, too.
The hole drilling reminded me of scenes in Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey–Maturin series of sea novels. (Highly recommended!...The stories, not the drilling )
Anyway, I think that my brain, neck, and fingers are stable and functional enough that I can dig back in and finish The Beard and upload it this fall. Then I have a story idea in the Damsels In Distress universe and maybe a Swarm Cycle story back in my earlier Harem era.
Your inquiries, votes, and best wishes have been appreciated. Again my thanks...
Mike
