Catching Up

The head cold I mentioned last week travelled to my chest, so I’ve been under the weather all this week. As a result, I’m behind on everything and did very little writing.

I can’t taste or smell anything. I’ve learned that 80% of taste involves scent. When we can’t taste anything, it’s usually because we can’t smell anything. When you can’t taste, there’s no pleasure in eating, so you only eat what you absolutely need. Once you’re full, you stop eating. I’ve noticed that, on average, I eat about 2/3 of what’s on my plate. That means I’ve been overeating, so I’ll be keeping that in mind when my taste/smell returns, which I hope will be soon.

The good news is that I’m definitely on the mend, and I did manage to work on Daros Chronicles 3 this week. I was going to title it Strangers, but that didn’t look good on the cover. Now it’ll be Blood and Blades, which sounds cooler, anyway. If all goes to plan, it should be available sometime next week.

Here’s the blurb:

It’s all about strangers…

Erryn forms an uneasy alliance. Avere shadows a mysterious woman. Fi plays nice with visiting primates. Who can be trusted? Who will be betrayed?

It’s all about strangers…and Daros will never be the same.

Enjoy your weekend!
