Change of Plans

I’ve been public about some things I had intended to do next. One of them was to launch my new Patreon page, which will be an opportunity for readers to have a more immersive fan experience in my world-building and writing as I create my next projects.

The other thing I went public about is that I’m intending to write a few stories in my very large Elder Races universe, in the Other land of Ys. My novella The Chosen was set in this Other land, and I’d like to explore the tensions and opportunities more there.

(For readers who enjoy background information, I took the inspiration for Ys from a mythical city in French that was swallowed by the ocean. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ys But after reading about Ys, I then decided to create my own thing.)

These two projects are on hold for the moment. When I launch Patreon, there’s so much goodness I’m planning for readers that I’d like to make sure my wonderful assistant Gretchen is operating at her tasks at full capacity, so she can help.

Unfortunately, Gretchen has recently been experiencing some complications in a pregnancy. If you believe in this sort of thing, I’m sure Gretchen would appreciate any good thoughts and prayers any of you may like to send her way.
