Started a chat on Substack. I wanted people to have a place to write comments on my fiction books/ podcast if they wanted to. I usually get around to going to Substack on Sundays. You are welcome. I posted Mind Master Chronicles: Labyrinth Chapter 10 part 2 podcast. I think it went well. I’ve done some typing and writing, but is it ever enough? ^_~ Oh, well. There’s always this week. God willing.

I was in the hospital again; this time for six days with a recurrence of a C-diff infection. I’m back home again and did my podcast today.

My book Mind Master Chronicles: Butterfly was released on Tuesday, September 1st. I printed some more business cards with Vistaprint to commemorate the new book. Plus, I made some changes to the links including the link size. More typing was done today on Beginnings 2. I’m still trying to get more of my strength back.

My book Mind Master Chronicles: Butterfly is set to be released on Tuesday September 1st. I cleaned up some merge problems that occurred when Smashwords merged with Draft2Digital. My “Also by” page wasn’t listing all my books. Now it is. Thank you, Alicia.
Typing is going to be resuming on Contagion Phase: Beginnings 2 (temporary name). God willing. I plan for it to be my next release.
I’m planning on reaching out to libraries to tell them about my books. You can help by requesting one of my books from your local library or borrowing a digital copy if your local library already has one. I love libraries. I used to work as a shelver at one a long time ago.

I’m on 105/ 150 Word pages with the editing of Butterfly. I do 5 pages/ 6 days a week most weeks. God willing I should be done by the Sept 1 deadline. Editing isn’t fun, but I’m getting through. I’ve also begun writing again. It’s much better to be well enough to get back to work. I plan to go back to the typing of Beginnings 2 once Butterfly is published, but you know how plans are.

Hi. Just wanted everyone to know my six e-Books are free throughout July on the Smashwords sale. I guess I had peritonitis to go with my ruptured appendix. But my voice and I are getting better. I am working on editing round 3 of Butterfly. Slowly and steadily I am making progress.

There are a lot of awesome bookstores on there. Also, some libraries have added eBooks of my books to OverDrive! I am very grateful for both. If you’d like to read my book at your local library, please request your library add it to OverDrive!

I’m doing a podcast of my reading through Labyrinth. It’s pretty fun yet work intensive. I am doing it straight through without editing, so you can hear the pages rustle. Plus, I have to correct myself on occasion. But I like the natural feel of a human voice these days.

I’m editing Mind Master Chronicles: Butterfly. Alas, I wrote the scenes based on which I felt inspired by. So now, I have to pay the price and put them in order!

I’ve been giving out some signed copies of Beginnings. I also have business cards of the cover. I’ve gotten good feedback on this book, which I appreciate! The third book is being typed right now. Strangely, when I filled up notebook 2, I numbered notebook 3 wrong. I wrote 193 when it was 293. I’m thinking maybe I took some time off before I finished it? Either way, it didn’t dawn on me until recently that I wrote a longer book. (rofl) I refer to the third book as Beginnings 2. It has a more creative name, but I don’t want an AI bot to steal it! šŸ˜€

I had a setback with Butterfly. When my computer broke, Butterfly was typed with Notepad. Notepad used to be format free. Now it has its own formatting and AI, which doesn’t match with Word. It caused a lot of formatting issues when I copied the text over, including disappearing text. So, Butterfly has to be retyped in Word. This will take at least 45 more sessions. I decided to go with calling it sessions since some days there is no typing — for example, when I have appointments. Right now I have my pre-order date set for July 1 on Draft2Digital.

I’ve decided Biosphere will remain Book 1. I figured it would be better to have the spin-off at the beginning than interrupting the three-part story arc.

I hate AI. It bothers me that Amazon is firing 14,000 employees in favor of AI. It also bothers me that their AI is infiltrating the Kindle functions, so I have unpublished my eBooks on Amazon. When I find the time, I’ll make a list of the places you can still buy my books. I know Amazon won’t notice my little protest, but at this point I don’t care. I’m also eliminating Kobo because of the AI. I also got rid of Apple awhile back because of AppleTV’s blasphemous episode on ā€œYour Friends and Neighbors.ā€ Apple is also moving forward with AI-narrated audio books.

I don’t have a problem with saying ā€œHappy Holidaysā€ referring to the holidays in December, but I’ve never heard so many advertisers go out of their way not to mention Christmas. We have a right to celebrate Christmas and the Jewish people have the right to celebrate Hanukkah. Just mention the specific holiday as well as the umbrella term, holidays. Though, the commercialism of the season isn’t the point of Christmas and Hanukkah, it bears reminding the advertisers that the spiritual meaning behind these celebrations inspired people to give gifts in the first place. And it also bears mentioning the meaning behind Christmas and Hanukkah is God.

Meanwhile, my e-books are free on the Smashwords sale. I’m thinking of making Contagion Phase 1: Biosphere into Book 3. Beginnings is really Book 1. I hadn’t planned on writing the third book, but right now Books 2-4 all go together, and Biosphere is more of a spin-off. But then, I’ll to see how hard it is to change it.

Meanwhile, the content editing (editing round 1 of 3) of Mind Master Chronicles: Butterfly is progressing, but it’s time consuming. I have to make sections I wrote out of order all flow together. Plus, I have to write sections to fill in the gaps. I do five pages at a time. It will take at least three months for it to be ready.

12/5/25 writing update
I added my e-books to the Smashwords sale. It begins on Dec 8. December is going pretty fast. Typing for Contagion Phase 3 is underway as of today. I’m making progress in editing and writing Mind Master Chronicles 5. I am content editing Mind Master Chronicles 4: Butterfly. I’m not even going to guess when it will be finished given my health issues this past year. But at least, with God’s help, I’ve had some productive days. I need to be a bit more disciplined with my writing.
