It’s May – and even the “force” day!

Well, we’re in a new world today – I don’t normally touch on politics, but I was astonished at Australia’s voting yesterday. Very much a surprise. And that’s all I’m saying. On to other things.

So, my days are all out of whack! I blame it on two things.

1. I had a small op early April to remove a lump (turned out to be fibrous) from my left thigh. Drugs man, great stuff!
2. We took a quick trip to Melbourne to attend a family member’s 90th. We had a great time and got to see a few places, but it was a little daunting so soon after having my leg compromised. (Finally got the bandages off it last Wednesday.)

  This is our view from our room. Yes, that’s Crown Casino and those are flames that light up. Every night from 8pm to 1am the following morning. Every hour. On the hour. Then just past those thin buildings to the front is the main railway line between Southern Cross Station and Flinders Street Station – talk about noisy! Even from the 25th floor!

 We took a trip to a small town just south of Phillip Island called Kilcunda. We had an amazing day there, ate lunch at the General Store, then took a drive tour of Phillip Island. Wow, that has changed since last I went there!

So, what have I been doing apart from galavanting around? I’ve been working on my WIPs. I took my Remarkable on as cabin luggage, so I was able to write some notes on the way over. (Stu’s earpods wouldn’t work for me for some reason.)

Onto the updates

Clans in Conflict

The Dark Road

Still waiting on the beta reader. I may have to send it to someone else.

Deadly Convergence

The story going into Kindle Unlimited starring Alex Travis has now been called Deadly Convergence. This will be uploaded as soon as I get the cover art. To begin with, it will be a Kindle Unlimited story, but will probably go into a Clans in Conflict anthology in the future.

Unnamed Ryan Locke story

This is another Kindle Unlimited story which is currently getting beta reader feedback. Once I’ve gone through it all, I will send it to the editor and the design artist for cover art before uploading it. Like Deadly Convergence, it will only be available on Kindle Unlimited, but will probably become part of the same anthology.

I have other Kindle Unlimited stories for Clans in Conflict that I will set up in due course.

Consequences

Heart of Deception is still with the proofreader and I hope to have that back soon, which means we can then get into the cover art side of it.

Legacy of Risks

Whilst this is still with the beta reader, I’ve had good reports regarding it, so I hope that it will go to the editor soon.

Dangerous Heart

I have completed rewriting this, so it’s in the queue for beta reading.

New Universes

Strefinobhan

I’m still editing the first book in this. Can’t give you a name for it because I still don’t have one. It has numerous file names, but hasn’t got a proper title. Stay tuned.

The second book is still being written. This has a proposed title of Colliding Worlds. Still that is up in the air until it’s finished.

Shifters

I have come to a halt in this at the moment, but I have reviewed what I have written and made some notes on how to move forward on that.

Paranormal

I have started working on a new story with a different partner for Nina. Sam, Phil and Rocky are still in it, probably with Dr Max as well. It is set in Perth and promises to be something completely different.

Delta Recoveries

Delta Recoveries is something I thought up about 10 years ago. It is always in the back of my mind and I might bring out a short story with one of the main characters. It’s a background story for him, but it might just get me started on Delta again.

For anyone interested, Delta Recoveries is part of a group known as Delta Group. They have a range of companies (like a lot of companies do) but Recoveries specialises in deepwater salvage. Until they go into space. Stay tuned for more news!

Grow Write anthology

I have edited my work on this and will take another look at it before submitting my entry. It’s a little over the limit, but the changes do make it a far better story. In fact, I’ve had various requests for a sequel to it. At the moment, that’s up in the air.

Podcast – Finding Elara

My interview on this podcast will be going live tomorrow, https://findingelara.libsyn.com/

Currently, the link goes to season 1, but this will be season 2.

Reviews

I still haven’t done any reviews, but I do intend to do some soon. Please have patience.

Okay, that’s all my leg can take of me sitting at the PC. Talk to you in a coupla weeks!
