Just Letting you all know I'm still here!

 

This is just a sort of 'state of the author' kind of thing. Life is still throwing challenges at me and not letting me say 'Umm, I'd rather not'. I hurt my sacroiliatic. To the point where I couldn't function - it was quite painful. I start PT later in the week, and my doc (specialist I went to) has ordered me to start working out again.

We have a new puppy who will be a horse eventually (Great Dane).

Knight, the dog who was the younger dog when King (my dog) died, wasn't getting on well and developed (or rather finally showed) some issues after King died. He wasn't doing well on his own, which was part of the reason for getting another puppy.

BUT, now HE's sick. Badly too. One of his hind legs is swollen and his white blood cell count is high. Vet had him all day and had no idea what was wrong. So now he's home and we're keeping an eye on him, trying to get him to eat (he all but stopped a few days ago) and drink, go out to potty, all of that.

None of this stuff has been cheap, either.

Add to that a few other unexpected events with high price tags and it's been a fun month.

Ugh.

Right now, I'm just hoping we don't lose Knight. Because it's a very real possibility. If they had a clue as to what was wrong, yeah, I wouldn't be so worried - but they don't.

My current goal is to write Ghost Warrior #2. Then probably Wolfhounds #5 ending that short series. I want to write another book for Baen, POI #12, another Valens Heritage book, AND do some side project stuff.

I'd very much like to have ALL of that done in the next 4 months or so (yeah, I'm crazy, I know that).

I did get the cover for the sequel to Summer's End today (Some Time in the Fall) and it looks nice. It's currently slated for March 2025 for release. Wolfhounds #4 (War Child) should be out within the next week. I'll post the cover on my blog once it's ready to go.

So overall, I'm still writing and I'm still moving forward. I just keep hoping for less interrupts so I can spend more cycles writing. So I can give you more books to read.

Because you folks are the reason I do this.

Book 4 of Wolfhounds will be out soon

 I realized today I hadn't posted anything here in a bit. Part of that is I've been making posts on my SubStack, which have been more about writing, and part of that has just been trying to get bk4 finished. It's about 10 days behind schedule right now, because of life stuff. Like getting sick, or getting injured :-P. 

However the 1st draft is done and it should start the editing process in a few days. I'll start the re-write tonight. 

The title is 'War Child' btw, I'll put up more about it as I get the cover and such.
