My Aunt Joan, an author of both fiction and non-fiction, passed away recently. She was one of my inspirations to write my own books. Near the end of her life, she had one more manuscript that may have been ready to publish. I will be getting it, looking it over, and publishing it for her. We’ll have to see what that project looks like. I’ll also be looking into the idea of potentially republishing her other books.

I came down with a bad cold, bad enough that I think it may be my annual bout with Covid. The additional sleeping and laying around in misery cut into writing time and the mental fog of congestion, malaise, and decongestants made the writing time I got less productive than usual. I did make a little progress, however. Good news is that this should keep Covid away for another year and I should be over it by the weekend.

One challenge I’ve been working into Selene Unchained is what do they do with the loyalists? In every revolution, there are some people who prefer the status quo. Tories, White Russians, Loyalists, whatever. How do the Selenites deal with people who prefer Zafir (or at least his system) when they don’t have a Canada or Europe to send them to?

Selene Unchained chapters this week:
11: The Chain Breaking Begins – completed
12: Falling Water and Laughing Pastures
