Just a reminder that at the end of this weekend (which is conveniently the end of the month) ‘Off The Deep End’ in its current iteration will go offline.
I have been working on a detailed rewrite to address the two main issues with the story; the lack of specific geography, and the lack of specific timeline.
It’s also meant that, as the better writer I am 10 years later, I’ve been able to address huge chunks of exposition and info-dumping. And there’s some extra bits and pieces to flesh out some of the places that are lighter in detail in the original.
I’m currently up to the final part. The plan is for wider ebook and paperback release in October/November which will have the added advantage of allowing people to read the new version in the timeline that it happens (the story starts in November). It will be up on ZBookstore as well as other outlets.
The title will stay the same (just too good to lose) but the cover art is getting a refresh. If you’d like to support me in the meantime, grab a copy from ZBookstore or support my caffiene addiction at the usual outlet.
Oh, and there is something new in long form coming, and it won’t take 7 years for me to finish uploading it.
If you enjoyed ‘Off The Deep End’ in it’s current iteration or not read it, you have until the end of June to re-read it or (hopefully) purchase a copy from ZBookstore (formerly ) before it disappears from SOL and ZBookstore.
I am in the process of revision for content and other reasons and need to take it out of circulation.
It is a very special story to me as it literally took years to finish, but I now have some time and distance to be able to fix up a lot of the structural inconsistencies that kind readers overlooked while supporting an emerging irregular writer.
