Mind Master Chronicles: Labyrinth Chapter 3 Part 2 podcast, read by me, the author, Jennifer Alice Chandler. Book Copyright 2022.

I’m pretty happy with how things turned out. I read it straight rather than using editing. Editing could probably save me grief, certainly spare me restarts, but I like the natural feel of the sort of live podcast.

This is Mind Master Chronicles: Labyrinth Chapter 3 Part 1, read by me, the author, Jennifer Alice Chandler. This is a long chapter, so I broke it into two parts. Book Copyright 2022.

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! 😀

12/28/25 writing update

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 It also bothers me that their AI is infiltrating the Kindle functions, so I have unpublished my eBooks on Amazon.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 “Your Friends and Neighbors.” Apple is also moving forward with AI-narrated audio books.

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.

It’s almost Christmas! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen so many ads for Christmas and Thanksgiving shown. Of course, most ads don’t mention Christmas. It’s holidays, seasonal, festive. Oh, well. At least they’re not too good for our money yet. That’s when you know you’re in real trouble.

The Smashwords End of the Year sale begins Dec. 8. I am adding more editing to my routine. I’m starting editing stage 2 on Butterfly and continuing typing/ editing stage 1 on Book 5. I’m still trying to establish a more consistent routine for the writing. The typing will soon begin on Contagion Phase 3, the true sequel to Beginnings with Becca, Derek and Patrick. It and Contagion Phase 4 have already been written.

I feel slow, but really what do I have to compare it to? I finally got Contagion Phase 2: Beginnings done and published. I am starting the editing on Mind Master Chronicles: Butterfly (Book 4). I’m not sure when I’ll be done with that one as the content of Book 5 got mixed in with Book 4. Mainly, my time has been limited by the four trips I’ve had to the hospital this past year. I’ve also been doing a lot of physical therapy for Super Stump (right leg/ amputee) and Lefty (left leg/ stroke survivor). God helped me figure out I have a beef allergy in addition to my gluten allergy. Both flare my ulcerative colitis. Usually, it’s hard to pinpoint a trigger. This time I was able to. And before this I didn’t realize one could be allergic to beef. I’m still writing as much as I can. Right now, it’s four books but not every day. I’m entering my six e-books into the Smashwords End of the Year sale for free.

The writing/ typing/ editing/ and proofreading are going well. I’m about a third of the way through the Contagion Phase 2: Beginnings final round of editing. Mind Master Chronicles 4: Butterfly is about a third of the way through typing/proofreading. Then, the three rounds of editing will begin. I’m trying to write a page in Contagion Phase 3 six days a week. It’s almost done and is ready for typing … as is Mind Master Chronicles 5: For the other four books, my goal is writing 3 pages per week.

I’m giving up my GoDaddy site since they’ve integrated AI into it. My domain name will eventually redirect here (WordPress).

I’m participating in the Smashwords Summer/Winter Sale! It lasts the entire month of July. All five of my currently published books will be free. Here is the address: https://www.smashwords.com/shelves/promos/

The only thing Apple accomplished with that desecration of the Holy Eucharistic bread scene in the Your Friends & Neighbors episode is encouraging the bullying of Catholics, some of whom have been their loyal customers for years, and the encouragement of the desecration of the Holy Eucharistic bread, where Jesus Christ is present. When you suffer from an ideology that has no truth in it, you mock and bully the one that does. Obviously the Apple company has put hatred and toxic ideology over business considerations. There are plenty of bad acts Apple TV wouldn’t dare depict on TV lest it be seen as encouraging the behavior. Encouraging the bullying of Catholics and the mocking of Jesus Christ is apparently fair game in the eyes of some ideological radicals.
Apple is trying to normalize the bullying of Christians and the desecration of the Holy Eucharistic bread. I can’t see where a company which shows such ugly disrespect for its own customers has many prospects for growth in the future.

Please write a letter to Apple TV asking for an apology and removal of the offending and irrelevant scene.
