I updated my Books Available page!

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!

Mind Master Chronicles: Labyrinth Chapter 3 Part 2 podcast

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.

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! 😀

I don’t have a problem with saying “Happy Holidays” 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.

11/30/25 writing update

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/
