Morning Everyone,

Sorry for the delays in posting, I've been going through some real life nonsense, which has made it difficult to concentrate. The sequel is still happening, but I need some help from the few of you who are still around. I've got the prologue done. The first chapter is 99% done, and the next few chapters are roughly mapped out. I've fabbed up some cover art (since I can't commission a piece this time around). Now I'm stuck on one thing.

Greetings all. Just wanted to drop an update regarding the sequel. I'm still working on it, I just needed to finish out my degree first and take a little break. Now that I have a $20,000 piece of fancy-paper, I can focus more on writing. My release schedule is still pretty much guaranteed to be a slow-motion shit show, but it will happen. I'm not terribly confident with where I'm going with the sequel, but one of the harder parts of being a writer is just getting the fuck over yourself and

So I'm thinking about a sequel to Redemption. Actually, 'thinking' is a misleading descriptor. I've been kind-of-sort-of working on a sequel to Redemption. I've got a basic outline, a growing clusterfuck of notes, and some half-assed chapters sort of done.

So I was cleaning out my old laptop from about a million years ago, and came across my 'Master File' for Redemption. Basically it's a combination of (very) rough draft versions of the chapters, segments and portions that could potentially go into various chapters, ideas that did/didn't pan out, notes, basic outline garbo, you get the idea. The entire document is about 113 pages long (I think I stopped regularly using it around chapter six or seven, and probably completely around eight or

After about a million years, Redemption now has a live reading! Done by Teraunce, you can find it here: https://youtu.be/W4vLoB3Lbk0

I'd always hoped this story might get a live read one day, and now this wonderful person has started to do that. Go give it (and his channel) some love :D

So, after way too long, and way too many setbacks, it’s finally done.  And it feels fucking weird, let me tell you. I fought with myself over and over again this week, as I did my final read through and edit.  The end chapters had been written, re-written, edited and edited again, and a part of me kept saying “Nope, you need to look again. Remember that part?  It could be better, couldn’t it? What about that other thing, does it read well? Did you remember to add in that other nonsense you

Just wanted to post a small update regarding the story. Unfortunately, as of right now, it doesn't look as if I'll be able to finish, and as such I'll...

Just kidding, it's pretty much all done.

All of it. Check it out;

Just dropping in really quickly to say I'm still alive, still slowly, ssslllooowwwllyyyy pecking away at the last of the story. I'm somewhere around halfway through the last chapter that needs to be written. I'm going to get the damn thing done if it kills me (it'll have to get in line behind all of the other things waiting to do that). I know, I know, same song and dance. It is what it is though, and nothing to do about it.

Figured I'd drop this off here. Don't expect a real-time running update or anything like that, but it's got numbers, and numbers is key.

So, some of you may be interested to know that I am not, literarily or literally, actually dead.  This may surprise you.  To be honest it sort of surprises me, too.  You may be further interested and/or surprised to learn that Redemption is not itself dead, either.

I've managed to edit about three quarters of the chapter (which is sitting just a hair over 14k words at the moment), but I'm going to be out of town again this weekend, and I actually need to get packed and on the road now. I'll be taking it with me again, on the off chance I get an opportunity to work on it, but realistically don't expect anything until Sunday. It's frustrating, because all I need is about three or so hours to finish the initial round of editing, upload it and fix the

It's done, but hasn't been edited yet. It would have been edited and posted today, but my computer decided to shit the bed after I got home from work yesterday, and I spent last evening tracking down some very critical system drivers, to replace the original ones, who apparently said 'fuck it' and left town early for the holidays. I'll be taking the chapter home with me over Christmas, and I'll try to work on it tonight and tomorrow if I can, but don't count on seeing anything posted until

Alright, so chapter 10 has been rewritten and is finished, save for the last scene, which is already started and isn't going to be very large (say 1k to 2k words). The chapter as a whole is hovering somewhere right below 12k words, and will probably be a little above that when it's all said and done.
