Progress at last
Hi, everyone
For those of you who know me, you'll know that I was on a drive to write a book per month this year. I was on track for that, with four books written and published from January to April, and then disaster struck!
I injured myself playing rugby back in 2000 and, unknowingly, made the injury worse over the years until the bicep head had been ripped off the bone and the labrum was torn.
To cut a long story short, I had an operation in 2018 to repair everything. End of story? Big NO!
That op was apparently a failure and my shoulder got progressively worse over the years because a screw was left in that shouldn't have been left in. Fast forward to 2022.
I couldn't move my arm properly which affected fishing, shooting, going to gym, sleeping, you name it...
I had another operation and have been out of action for the last 2 months, but now I'm back! (queue inspiring music and a montage of a hero overcoming adversity through hours of rehab. George Lucas, we can negotiate the documentary rights)
I'm pleased to say that I'm back in action and I've managed about 6 000 words over the last 2 days. My 13th book (Book 6 in the Steve Savage, Bounty Hunter series) is almost done and should be released next week. I received a copy of the cover art today and I'm stoked with it. Big tick for A Okay!
I love hearing from people so reach out and contact me if you have questions about my books, suggestions on how to improve them, a useful tip on the next winning lottery numbers, or just to have a chat and say hi.
