Of Blogabsences Substantial.

Aaron Dembksi-Bowden, one of my literary heroes and one of this generation’s Shakespeares, is mulling dumping his blogging, because it eats time.

Which is true. It does. It SO does.

But I am not him. I am, however, a bad blogger.

I had no idea my last entry was August 2018. That’s like, more than a whole year. Yeesh.

So, I’ve been busy during that time. Silly busy. Life, end of life, a full time career in a challenging field, my wife’s managing a chronic brain disease…oh, man. there’s been LOTS.

But that’s all a bunch of heavy stuff. More on The Heavy later. Too much of that already in this world right now. What I am happy about is the work I’ve been doing while Notblogging.

Holleeeee Firesticks. It’s been a big year at my desk. Dark fantasy short story anthology? Completed. Currently enduring the preparatory rites known as the Thousand Cuts of the Blood Pen, administered by a ruthless ogre who adamantly states it will be ready within six to twelve months. That’s PUBLISHED ready. As in, on the shelf and kindle.

And, I’m 296 pages deep into my fourth book, a fantasy novel that follows one of the shorts teed up in the anthology.

Funny thing, that. There are 13 short stories in the anthology, and each tip off a separate novel to form a franchise. Which is brain-boggling to me. But there it is.

More details to come; just wanted to drop a hey to show I did not get snatched by a nightgaunt and swallowed in two pieces. I mean, whole would be tasteless, and three would just be messy.

And yeah; I know. They don’t have faces.

It’s called OSMOSIS, Chad.
