Googling Myself
Out of curiosity, I googled myself the other day to see what shows up. Turns out that listings for my books are on a couple sites now (though it seems the books can still only be ordered new from Amazon). It’s just interesting seeing where I’ve managed to get picked up by or mentioned on other sites.
Somehow, my own personal webpage here didn’t even make the first page of the google results.

Cover Art
I’ve been looking at possible covers for The Kirin Prince, and I’ve found a couple I like. I’m still narrowing down the options, though, but I might buy one in the upcoming weeks. If I do, I’ll post it here.

New Project and (possible) New Laptop
I know I’m still in the middle of a bunch of Nascent projects, but I’ve been working on a new thing, since I’m kinda stuck with not being able to edit or format The Kirin Prince. I’ll post updates if anything happens with it.
Also, I’ve been working on a way to get a used laptop, but it might need some repairs before I can use it. We’ll see what shape it’s in when I get it, but I hear there are some issues with connecting to the internet. Fingers crossed that it’s something easy to fix on my own...

A long-overdue update
Due to COVID-19, I’ve been unable to edit the next Nascent novel. At home, all I have is an ancient Chromebook that struggles if I try to load a document more than 50k words and will choke up and often freeze if I open anything more than 100k words. The second Nascent book is a little over 100k, so I’ve been scared to open it.
After much debate and dragging of my feet, I finally tried to go laptop shopping recently, but all the stores near me are sold out of everything except more Chromebooks. U...

First “review”
I’ve yet to have a review of any of my stories before, but someone left a review on I Didn’t Break the Lamp that mentions my story See Me. They describe my story as a “humorous analysis of poly/gay dating.” It’s only one line and also applies to a second story in the collection, but still. A review!

Hiatus Extended
Because I’ll be participating in NaNoWriMo, my hiatus will extend to the beginning of December. I may post a chapter or two, but nothing will be regular. Apologies in advance, but I’ll be using the time to get caught up on my writing.
See you in December!

On Hiatus
I’ve been looking for a new place to live and packing these last few weeks. I finally found a new apartment and the packing intensifies! I’ll be on hiatus until sometime in October. Until then, I’ll be busy packing, moving, unpacking, and settling into the new place.
