Update Link: Mad World, Book 4 – Chapter 94

After Thursday’s chapter, we’ll be officially halfway through the book. I’ll be posting an ebook version of Chapters 76-95, so if you’ve been holding off on reading, or you’re behind, it might be useful. See you tomorrow for Flash Fiction!

Update Link: Invisible Strings – Part 3

Hope everyone is having a good Independence Day!

Round-Up

• I used to list upcoming projects on their own page, but I didn’t really see the point.
• A lot of them were duplicated when I relaunched my Alternate History page, so I just added a few of the missing projects.
• I still need to finish my relaunch of the Alternate Universe page.
• I also changed the In Progress page to the Series page. This page has my three major series broken down into their individual books.
• I updated the download links for Mad World’s ebooks. Book 3 will be released on Wednesday.

Patreon

• Posted for Love Tier, Early Access chapters for Mad World, chapters 94-95.
• Added Crimson Check #23 for all tiers.
• Posted a Crimson Discovery survey for Obsessed & Stalker tiers

Update Link: Signs of Life – Part 38

This is going to be another short update — basically the second half of the part I planned last week. My TMJ doctor prescribed muscle relaxers, but only at night, and it’s still messing me up. It’s been making me groggy in the morning and making it hard to focus — I’m just generally feeling not so great on it and other than being able to sleep, I’m not feeling enough difference to justify staying on it every day.  I haven’t really been able to focus on anything since I started it, much less writing, so we need a new plan.

The good news is that today, I’m having the first of a series of tests meant to investigate the whooshing in my ear which is one of the biggest reasons my focus has scattered so much these last 18 months. I’m having an ultrasound on my carotid artery and a CT on my temporal bones to make sure all the vessels are in good shape and that there’s no aneurysm creating issues. (Doctor says that’s like the least likely culprit, but me who watches soap operas and has killed off many characters through aneurysm freaks out — we’re good now). Then, I have an MRI for my neck to confirm my diagnosis so that I can start treatment.

I’ll keep you guys in the loop and see you next week!

Update Link: Mad World, Book 4 – Chapter 93

Uh, so when I decided to go to two chapters a week, I’m not sure I realized that this chapter would be a Thursday chapter which would leave four days before the next one. Uh, sorry about that. Really.

See you tomorrow for Signs of Life! (a full update this time, fingers crossed)

Update Link: Watch Me Burn – Part 2

Having a lot of trouble getting started in the morning. I think it’s because of the medicine I’m taking — I’m supposed to take it around the time I go to bed, but it’s making me really groggy in the morning. I’m gonna try taking it a few hours earlier and see if it helps.

I finished reformatting the ebooks for Mad World, Books 1 – 3. Books 1 & 2 have been reuploaded to the site already because they were already publicly available. I had never created an ebook for Book 3, so that’s exclusive to the Patreon tier for about a week — the $3 and above tiers get early access.

Update Link: Invisible Strings – Part 2

Apologies for the late posting. Over the next few weeks, I have a few doctor appointments and tests scheduled on days when I’m writing Flash Fiction, so they might not be posted at 11 AM, but they should be at some point that day. My Twitter feed is on the side — I usually post there if there’s a delay. You can also sign up for the update emails so you’ll get notified when I do post.

I also added some more images on the Flash Fiction page.

Update Link: Signs of Life – Part 37

EDIT: A peek behind the curtains here. I set up everything before 10 AM and writing, so my update posts are written in advance. I do this so that I can hit publish as close to 11 as possible. I was about 20 minutes into writing Part 37 when my phone flashed with a notification.

Roe v. Wade overturned.

I knew it was coming today. I knew the decision was going to be brutal, and I knew it was going to put every SCOTUS decision that means anything to me on the line. If they can take Roe, they can take Brown and Lawrence and Obergefell.  I knew all of that, and still there was a small kernel that wanted to believe differently.

I literally just can’t. So today’s update is short. Two scenes. Sorry. I just can’t.  My brain just can’t focus.

The first week of our summer schedule is done, so here’s a quick round up if you missed anything.

• Flash Fiction Updates
  • Monday: Invisible Strings, Part 1
  • Wednesday: Watch Me Burn, Part 2
  • Friday: Signs of Life, Part 37. Link above

  • Book 1 (Chapters 1-19) Ebook
• Site
  • Flash Fiction Page redesign (still needs a bit of work)
  • Sidebar clean up

If you’re a Patreon supporter, I’ll be back and updating the perks on Sunday.

Update Link: Mad World, Book 4 – Chapter 91

I did some more housekeeping on the Flash Fiction page. It’s mostly set up how I want it up. I also cleaned up the sidebar and removed some features and sections that seemed to just clutter up the page. I’ll see you tomorrow for Signs of Life!

Update Link: Watch Me Burn – Part 1

This story is the result of the wild vote we had on Patreon earlier this month — this story was in distant third until the last round of voting when it exploded in votes — it won by a single vote, lol. It picks up after Elizabeth’s testimony in the Alcazar murder trial in 2007 when she admitted to the affair with Jason — but lied about Jake’s paternity. In this version, she did not lie about Jake. That’s what Elizabeth is dealing with as the serial killer story happens in the background.

See you tomorrow for an update to Mad World!
