I'm curious...

Okay, time for another question on things that your humble author/narrator is curious about.

What book that I have written would you want a nice (leatherbound) copy of?

Another question for everyone this week:

Who is your favorite author? (Other than me)

Kinda curious as to who else you all like to read.

More Questions!

I thought I'd post a few questions here, one every week or so, to get people's minds off of things. Originally it was just cause I figured people were bored at home. But then things got crazy the other week and I just really didn't want to get lost in that mess. Plus as I have mentioned elsewhere, my Mother passed. (It wasn't unexpected, and no it wasn't Covid either).

So now that I've put a little time between me and then I thought I'd start asking some questions, just out of curiosity. Here's this week's:

Out of the books of mine you've read, Who is your favorite character?

Just an update, because I'm getting questions.

Just an update, because I'm getting questions.

Yes, the lawsuit did eat into my time, especially at the end there. Also, after nearly two and a half years of writing about a hundred hours a week (not kidding, 9am to 1am 6 days a week, and half that on Sundays), I needed a break. It did go on a bit longer than expected however.

• Right now I'm working on the following novels: POI #9, working title: Consequences. It's over 1/4th done.
• The sequel to Take Two. Working title: Take Two - Encore.
• A short that may turn into a novella or possible a novel: Cursed.
• A 'bridge' book for the Valens Legacy to tie into a follow on series. I thought this would be a regular novel, but I'm starting to think it will be a compilation of shorts and novellas. Working Title: Everyday Including Holidays.
• There's also a book that I was working on and set aside for a while, it's the start of a short multibook series (probably around 3 to 5 books, but still not sure) working title: Wolfhounds (space opera).

Unfortunately I had to go to NY last week for a week (Family issues) those issues are by no means resolved, though I don't think they're going to go on for much longer. I don't know if I'll have to go back or not.

So, yes, there's a lot in the pipeline and I'm trying to get myself back into a 5 to 10 thousand words a day habit, so I can start getting those things out. I'd like to thank all of you for your patience in waiting for more books, I appreciate it very much. Your support has meant a lot to me. It's just been a rough year, but clear skies are on the horizon. It's just a matter of them getting here.

Thanks,

Another Question:

What is your favorite scene, out of everything I have written?

A Question for ya'

Would you rather get a short story that is exclusive to people who sign up for my email list, or a short novel that is available to buy somewhere else?

 

This is of course, for people signing up for my email list. Basically the choices are: A short story that you can only get from being on the list, or a free copy of a shorter work that is also for sale.

So, I'm not dead...

There's been a bunch of things going on, that I've had to deal with, from my cat dying (13 yo, cancer) to a burst pipe, broken faucet, and a bunch of other things (not including the great disease scare). So life has been busy and complicated.

I'm working on a number of things, at the same time right now, from trying to do an interim Valen's book while I decide how I want to do the follow on series, working on the next POI book, the next Veilverse book, and there was a space opera/harem thing that got sidelined that I need to come back to, (when I got the bug in February it kind of threw my writing off for a while).

I hope to start getting things out in May, but not sure when in May. Not pushing myself at the moment, but I do need to ramp back up and get rolling again.

So, again, I'm not dead, and I'm back to work.
