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!

Update Link: Mad World, Book 4 – Chapter 90

I did a few housekeeping things on the site — I updated the Flash Fiction page, but we’ve got a lot of series now so I’m not sure how to organize it best. Let me know if you have any thoughts. I also cleaned up Alternate History — there were few dates that weren’t quite correct.

I know Mad World is a bit daunting to anyone looking to catch up. I’m going to have some form of an ebook situation up this week — it won’t be the final version but it’ll be something you can load onto your ereaders and take with you. I’m still having some formatting issues on that score.

I’ll be back tomorrow with another new Flash Fiction update.

Your Update Link: Invisible Strings – Part 1

The summer schedule kicks off today! A reminder that Monday & Wednesday entries will be shorter than Friday — it’s the only way I can write two more stories this summer, lol. Friday will still be in sixty minutes.

Crimson Glass will be updating daily for the summer, Mondays – Fridays. For those of you on my update email list, be aware — that’s a lot of emails. If you’re not on the update link, don’t forget to join!

Update Link: Mad World, Book 4 – Chapter 89

This was posted earlier this morning, but I forgot to push out an update post — apologies!

I am officially on summer break as of 1 PM this afternoon, so yay for me. The kids were mostly low-key this week, but I got nailed with a nasty sinus infection that screwed with my sleep schedule so that was fun.

I was considering doing Flash Fiction this Sunday, but the lack of sleep just kind of bogged me down so I won’t be doing that. I posted the schedule last week, and it’s mostly the same except I now have the story for Wednesday, so in case you missed it:

• Monday: Invisible Strings – AU Western Romance (20, 30, 40 minute increments)
• Tuesday:  Mad World
• Wednesday: Watch Me Burn (Set in 2007. Rewrites serial killer story. Last minute underdog win the Patreon vote. (20, 30, 40 minute increments))
• Thursday: Mad World
• Friday: Signs of Life/Scars (60 minutes increments)

Update Link: Mad World, Book 4 – Chapter 88

When you get to the end of this chapter, please remember that the next chapter will be available Friday and that I love you all. Don’t hurt me. *runs and hides*

Update Link: Signs of Life – Part 36

Posting Schedule beginning June 20, 2022

• Monday: Flash Fiction – Invisible Strings, Alternate Universe Western Romance.
• Tuesday: Mad World chapter
• Wednesday: Flash Fiction – Too Close To The Sun, Set 2007. Rewrites post-Metro Court Hostage Crisis.
  • Probably. Being voted on in Patreon and it’s been leading, outside of a moment when it was in a 2-way and 3-way tie. Vote closes on Wed, June 15.
• Thursday: Mad World chapter
• Friday: Flash Fiction – Signs of Life
  • When Signs is completed, I’ll return to Scars. These should take us the rest of the summer.

Monday & Wednesday Flash will be in 20, 30, or 40 minute writing sessions depending on the day and schedule I’m at.  In July, I may add another day for one of the Flash stories. I’ll be taking weekends off for other projects and for relaxing.

I’ll be drafting Counting Stars in June & July (probably for about six weeks, beginning June 10), then rotating Broken Girl, Book 2 & Fool Me Twice, Book 2 for the rest of the summer. One week on each, then switching. This will give me a break and refresh but keep me on track. At the end of July, we’ll assess if it’s working. I’m hoping both projects will be done by the end of August, and I’ll spend the fall editing. This will give me content to post all of 2023.

News

• Happy Sunday! I’m so relieved that there’s only one more weekend between me and summer vacation.
• My last day is Friday, June 17, and it’s a half day where I’m literally doing nothing with the kids except counting down and packing up my classroom.
• Next weekend is also the last time I’ll be updating Flash Fiction on Sunday because I’ll be moving into the summer scheduling starting June 20.
• I’m also going back to drafting Counting Stars starting next Saturday, so I want to make sure I’m giving myself a break when I need it.
• I’ll have more information about the summer schedule next Sunday because I will have it all finalized by then.
