It’s been a while since I’ve checked in so I thought I’d do a quick update. I finished the edits and formatting of Secret Project #2. I have about six sentences to add and I need to complete the timeline for the back of the book. I expect to finish that tonight. After that I’ll need to create the index and do the graphics. In less than two weeks it goes to the publisher. It’s a nice looking supplement filled with lots of good information. I think the publisher will be pleased.

I signed up for a romance challenge with two friends to produce a story or a chapter of a romance each month. That starts in July, which is right around the corner. In addition, I’ll resume work on my collection of Thule stories so that I can get those into the editor. And I’m back on the hook to produce something SFF-related for my critique group each week. I’m looking forward to the excitement and variety.

This long period of self-isolation has finally allowed me to create a schedule that’s working for me. Basically I’m focused on work from 11am to 6pm Tuesday through Sunday. I also work after Steve goes to bed (10pm to about midnight). I take Mondays off. So if you are trying to figure out if I’m available for a phone call or intense text discussion, know that mornings before 11am or evenings after 6pm are best.

I hope your June has been productive and filled with love and joy. Be well, friends!
