Happy Spooky Week

Well, I know this is a surprise. I've been pretty laid back on writing on this, which I shouldn't be. You guys support me, and I appreciate it. It's been a big deal to me that this keeps me from ha...

Delays and Other Stuff

So, there's been delays on other fun stuff on my work lately.

Part of it is, my shoulders. You know, the ongoing issues.

The other part is, well... my wife was badly sick for a month or...

End of Twitter

So, I've been banned off Twitter for no apparent reason the same day I finished uploading Book 11 and getting through all the problems with having it stay listed.

I'll be posting either late ...

Still Alive

Hey, everyone.

Good to talk to you again.

Well, medical issues are clearing up. That near-hit on the 4th of July really did a number on me. It's clearing up, finally, so there's that. T...

Welp, I tried...

I tried uploading another video, then another, but they kept jamming up.

I'm going to try again later tonight.

Wish me luck.

PS: My brain is seriously demanding I watch...

Book 11 Cover

My artist handed me this a few days ago.

The cover for Book 11, "Ashes, Ashes", which details the Terran Xenocide Event and the use of the Black Cauldron. The back will have a zombie complete...

We Did It...

As of today, First Contact is finished.

I keep reading that line and it doesn't feel real.

My wife and kids want me to take 30-60 days off before starting to write again.

I can al...

Patreon Payment Error

Apparently some of you might have had your payment declined or are wondering why you lost access to the Patron Only section on my Patreon or other creator's Patreon pages.

Well, Patreon screw...

Another Update

Well, that's Chapters 500-550.

Paperback and hardbacks are up.

New covers have been put on the early books, mainly just font changes.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Today's Progress

Today I finished the layout and uploading of the paperback and hardback for Book 10: Victory or Death.

Additionally, all covers now have the same font style. That means 1, 2, 4 have all been ...

ONWARD TO VICTORY

As you see, I got up to chapter 500. Sorry for blasting your email.

I'm having a lot of family stuff going on this week and probably next week, which is why I have been a little off on my wri...

Catching Up & Lightning Strikes

You might have noticed I posted a LOT of First Contact chapters.

Well, this last week was Hell on wheels, and I'm trying to catch up on what I told you I'd do. Additionally, I'm going through...

Oops

So, I'm back in the immobilizer with periodic numbness and tingling in my hand. Which sucks. At least my ribs are healed up.

I mentioned it on Reddit, but that's why my typing is so slow and ...

The Summer Peeper

It's getting into summer.

Anyway, I figured I'd reiterate why I'm copying chapters to my Patreon BUT putting them behind the paywall despite my promise to always have it on Reddit.

Well...

Copying Chapters

OK, as I talked about, with so many people no longer going to Reddit because of the API and other things, I'm copying chapters from the master document to here.

They have to be behind the Pay...

The Bit On Typing

Someone mentioned talking about my decisions behind the various plots, subplots, characterizations, and stuff like that.

Well, let's be honest.

It's all stream of consciousness writing....

Two Tiny Friends Meet

Well, this has been rough. Another ER trip. Emergency surgery. Recovering.

My wife's just glad that for once I admitted I *might* need a doctor.

She didn't even scream at me, just did t...

Easter Eggs

Well, it's another season. Multiple birthdays and a holiday.

All in all, things are going OK, except for the government won't get its hand out of my pocket, which pisses me off.

The las...

My Brain Won't Cooperate

So, writing recently, I've come out of the fugue state with some of the weirdest stuff.

It's Behold: Humanity! stuff, but more "Tales of the Terran Confederacy" stuff. Stuff like a participan...

Spring is Coming

Well, we made it through winter. Only a few dings and bruises. Only 3 ER visits and 2 overnight stays.

But I'm on the mend, which is good.

Hopefully, everyone else is doing good too. 2023-03-31 22:32:28 +0000 UTC View Post

The Builders Were Once Here

Admiral Jeff Pikark's story in the over-arching story has finished, as has Attila's story.

That's one down, like a dozen and a half to go, LOL.

We're going to move to another story arc ...

The Angel of Death

Wow, has it been a month since I last wrote here.

Well, in that time my daughter's wedding grows closer, my other daughter's house repairs finished, and I recovered (for the most part) from w...

Here We Are

Just a few thoughts and things I want to share.

First, is about Dee. I was talking with a few people while playing a multiplayer game, who know about First Contact, and I keep getting asked t...

Slowdown

Well, he's about to find out that his tail is attached to him, isn't he.

Just letting everyone know that things are starting to look better. My daughter's responding well to the medication an...

It's the Middle of the Month!

Well, you all have probably noticed that this month is rough.

Still dealing with the after effects of being hospitalized. Had to deal with some government stuff, so that's always fun.

T...

Just A Little Talking

I figured I'd talk about something real quick.

When I started all this, it was to keep us going through COVID and the lockdowns.

Back then I said I wouldn't do a Paypal or a Patreon. We...

The New Year

Well, I'm on the mend.

VA figured out what it was (hospital misdiagnosed me, surprise surprise) and put me on heavy antibiotics for two weeks.

Other than that, my New Year went pretty g...
