Spring Update (Patreon)

Well, spring has sprung, and my allergies are telling me all about it.  As I sit here all drugged up on meds to make my sinuses work again like a normal person, I realized it has been awhile since I did an update.

Things have been going well for the most part.  I signed a contract with Legion Publishing for Wandering Warrior instead of Mountaindale Press because of the size of advance they were offering.  It was too good of a deal to pass up, and Dakota was really great about it.  Considering I'm still on the hook for Threads of Fate and Year of The Sword, he didn't mind me spreading myself around a bit anyway.

The past two weeks have been focused on my family.  For those of you that don't follow me on Facebook, my cousin committed suicide.  It was extremely unexpected, as his life was going great.  A pregnant fiancé he was about to marry, a good job working an ambulance and emergency search and rescue, and only being 24 years old usually means you are happy.  For him, he wasn't, and it was the first suicide in our family's living history.

For me, it brought back a bunch of terrible memories.  I've lost over twenty brothers and sisters in the military to suicide, and going through it once again was the opposite of fun.  Today is the first time I've felt creative enough to add chapters in several days.

Wandering Warrior: Judge and Tycoon May are almost done.  Once they're off to edits, I will jump into the next in each series equally.  Threads Five, WW: Jury, and Morte June will all get work in an equal rotation order.  Not to mention the edits for the Threads side series that need to get done, so that finished trilogy can get published.  Ugh, so much to do!  Good news is, I have an actual writing coach now, who will be challenging me to get my word count up every day.
Coupled with my wife being in a more stable condition, it should make things happen fast.  Hopefully.

Well, I'll get back to work.
