A Long Overdue Update

First of all, hello everyone; welcome newcomers, and thank you to those who have stuck around.

Getting right to it, the short version of the story is that I lost my vision (I got better, don’t worry), which has honestly been terrifying. I’m told it was likely a result of some of the other medical things I’ve been through, but fortunately for me, it was surgically correctable.  I am two surgeries in, and might need one more, but I am back to the point of being able to read again (with the help of glasses and with only one eye working).

Take care of your vision, everyone. Losing it is not a fun experience.

You’ve all probably noticed that my website is gone. I don’t know what happened to it, other than that I received a notice saying that something malicious was going on.  I have tried to get it working again, but the backups failed and I’ve had no luck. At this point, I don’t want to spend the time and energy that it would take to build a new website–I’d rather be writing–so I’m going to be changing the way I share stories.

There is a chance that some stories were lost, but I think I’ve managed to find copies of them all.

Right now I am working on putting together an e-book/PDF formatted master collection of all stories so far that will be available for Patrons, and I am able to share it now as a work in progress. This would be through Google Docs, though I am open to other ideas.  Does that work for you? If your answer is yes, I’m already working on it anyway, so send me an email and I’ll invite you: Nicky.Noxville@gmail.com

I do have lots of ideas for new stories, but my focus for the short term is getting the full collection out to everyone again. I also want to re-edit, expand, and publish some familiar stories in the near future.

I am planning to include a dedication page for Patrons, but out of respect for privacy I am only adding names by request–If you want your name (nickname, alias, handle, etc.) on the dedication page, then please send me an email at Nicky.Noxvill@gmail.com letting me know how you want to be credited. This dedication page will also be included in future print and/or e-books.

I think that's enough for now.

Cheers

~Nicky
