Well the revisions are nearly complete to the Tara Aradchlár segment that is on the website. It has been split into 2 segments of a little over 300,000 words. The changes in the new versions are primarily to fix grammar errors which includes inserting the missing words. There are some small changes to the dialog.

The first segment of what was originally posted as Tara Ardchlár is titled 'Ananu' and covers the Órarduine's adventures after 'An Clochán' until they arrive over the planet Ananu.

The second segment titled 'Tara Ardchlár' begins with their arrival over Ananu and begin establishing a settlement on the planet.

So what happens now? First the version of 'Tara Ardchlar' now on the website will be withdrawn. The next step is to submit both 'Ananu' and 'Tara Ardchlár' to the website for posting. This will likely happen in the next several days.

The updated version of 'Ananu' is currently available on Bookapy. However, it will be several weeks before the new version of 'Tara Ardchlár' is available on Bookapy. It is essentially complete, so I expect it will be published before the end of June.

Thanks for you interest in this story.

Cheers

The posting today completes the revisions to An Clochán as published in 2014. The 2014 story has been split in to two stories. Dóchas which has been posted is the first part of the 2014 story. An Clochán which was posted today is the second part of the 2014 story. In making these changes, a significant amount of time was spent reviewing the stories for errors in grammar, punctuation, missing words, font style, and etc. In doing this, a few sentences were reworded to improve clarity. Well that was the intent. ;-) Undoubtedly some were missed.

In the near future, similar revisions to 2015 version of Tara Ardclár are planned. The first half has a working title of Ananu. The second half will retain its current name. The change in titles closely aligns with the story sequence.

At some point the all the stories will be offered on Bookapy. Currently Mistaken Identity and Comrie are offered on Bookapy.

BTW, I have a new story in progress. Suspect it will be awhile before it is posted.

Cheers

Comrie the second story in the Sarah's Saga series has been updated. It is also available on Bookapy.

As noted before An Clochán as currently posted will be split in to 2 stories. The first half will be named Dóchas and the second half An Clochán. These will become parts 3 and 4 of Sarah's Saga. Don't expect them to be ready until August some time.

What is currently posted as Tara Ardclár will be split in to 2 stories. Thus becoming parts 5 and 6 of Sarah's Saga. The name for the first half is undecided however the second half will be named Tara Ardclár. As to timing it will be a while.

Cheers

Thought an update was needed regarding the revisions to Sarah's Saga. Mistaken Identity has been revised and is now posted. Most of the changes are grammar corrections but there are some dialog changes. The last chapter ends a bit earlier than before. This was done to provide a better opening for Comrie the second story in the series. Revisions to Comrie are I think complete, but another review is needed before posting. So it will likely be a week or more before it is posted.

The currently posted story, An Clochán, will be split in to two stories. First segment will be named Dóchas and the second will be An Clochán. Both stories will be about 40 chapters in length. There are similar plans regarding the currently posted story Tara Ardclár.

Plans are to publish all the stories on Bookapy.

For a bit of background. Mistaken Identity was the first fiction story I've published which was initially over 10 years ago. The subsequent stories grew out of that experience.

Hope you've enjoyed reading them.

Cheers

As noted previously, I am currently editing the stories in the Sarah's Saga series. In doing so I've opted to rename the stories to be more consistent with the events, well at least I thinks so. Not quite ready to post the newer version, which will have fewer grammar issues...well hopefully. One perhaps significant difference is the transition from Mistaken Identity to Comrie which use to be titled Dochás. This is essentially a modification to the last chapter of MI and adding a chapter to C.

As to when the newer editions will be posted...likely a couple of weeks presuming no unanticipated issues.

Cheers
