Maybe even a relief if you're tired of hearing from me. Soulmates finished serialization this week. Now the entire 40 chapters are available on SOL and the eBook is available on ZBookStore, the rebranding of Bookapy for adult content. And here I am with nothing new ready to release. So I won't be posting anything new for at least a couple of months before Forever Yours is finished and edited.
Thank you to those of you who reached out to tell me you enjoyed Soulmates. Several of you asked about a sequel. There is nothing currently on the horizon. I anticipated returning to the characters for further adventures, but the reception of Soulmates was kind of lukewarm. I have other stories that people liked a lot better and are waiting for sequels to, so I'll be focusing my energy on those stories for the foreseeable future. I'm spending more time writing and editing my future stories and less relying on inspiration.
It's getting hot here in Las Vegas. 98 degrees at the moment. That means it's time for me to head north soon. I expect to have things closed up here by the end of the month and will be flying up to Seattle the first week of June. My daughter is in a production of Once Upon a Mattress and I want to get there before it closes. I'll be spending most of the summer in the Seattle area except a week-long trip I'm making to the Shakespeare Festival in Stratford, Ontario in late July. I'm definitely enjoying my summer forays into Shakespeare and this summer will include Macbeth, The Winter's Tale, and As You Like It. Non-Shakespearean shows will include Sense and Sensibility, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, and Forgiveness.
I expect to return to Vegas in mid-August, but if it is unbearably hot, I might drive up into the mountains and just hide for a couple of weeks. Amidst all the travel, I intend to be writing and finishing both Forever Yours and Drawing on the Bright Side of the Brain. Three other projects are vying for my attention when those two are completed. We'll see which one wins. They include a rewrite of Bob's Memoir, Volume 3 that extends the story considerably and will be available when I release the Signature Edition hardcover of the trilogy in December. I've opened my files for A Place Among Peers and will rewrite the draft of that sequel to A Place at the Table. It might be time to write a fourth volume of Wonders of My World, the travelog of erotic adventures I've had while on the road since my round-the-world trip (Seven Wonders of the World on SOL or Border Crossings on ZBookStore). While I slowed down some, I found some pretty wild adventures that I'm sure I can exaggerate.
I'll try to continue my weekly blog, but that might take a break this summer, too. We'll see.
Don't panic! I'm not dead! I'm just being quiet for a while.
