There’s some other stuff coming, I can’t officially talk about it yet. Just know it IS coming.
When I get more solid dates on the date to be confirmeds, I’ll announce them.
ANY OTHER BUSINESS:-
I wrote 6 new stories this month, a total of 7776 words. Managed a couple of longer stories this month – I also hit my target of 52 written in a year. I’m not sure what’ll happen to the weekly writing schedule now, I guess I’ll find out this weekend. I was also permabanned from Codex so I won’t be getting any further writing opportunities from there. It was nice while it lasted.
Sadly, William F. Nolan died this month. His death may impact on the scheduled release of the Automobilia anthology. I haven’t heard anything through official channels, despite my attempts to contact the publishers.
Some projects are taking longer than expected, hang in there friends, releases will come eventually!
