Greetings, everyone! It’s been a weird autumn here in Wisconsin; most of the time we have highs around 45 F/7 C, then we’ll have one day where it shoots up to 78 F/25 C. It’s distressing for someone like me who prefers the cold. Especially when I can’t access my AC unit and air flows terribly through my windows!

The month of October was a strange one for me. I planned so much but did so little outside of the usual. Though I did manage to finish reading Amulet of Wishes by Rita A. Rubin, one of the fellow indie authors of whom I mentioned in the last update. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am looking forward to picking up the next. I don’t write more than a few lines of thought after I finish a trad published book, but I absolutely write reviews for self-published. So if you’re hoping to know my full thoughts, I’ll be posting those to Amazon and Goodreads sometime this month.

Progress on Lord of the Night Realm: Book II is going great! It’s a little slower than I’d have liked, but some progress is better than none. We are now over 80% written and if you’re reading this from my site on desktop, you may notice a little progress meter on the sidebar. (I believe its at the far bottom on mobile.) I’ll continue to update this as I progress through these final chapters and into the editing stages. But as of right now, I’m still on track to finishing by the end of November.

Before I close this off, I do want to mention the recent commotion over on Twitter. I have no idea what will happen with that site in the coming days, but in the event that it truly does go under, know that you’ll always find information regarding my works on this website. That goes without saying, but I’m saying it anyway for reassurance. As for social media, I’m honestly uncertain how I’ll handle it going forward. There’s always Instagram and now Tumblr, but I prefer the short burst thought formula of Twitter. Mastodon is the closest alternative I’ve found, but there doesn’t seem to be enough of a community for writers and readers alike for it to be a sound consideration at this time.

That’s all for now, so until next time, take care!
