I managed to contract COVID several times and suffered from what people were calling 'long COVID'. Besides the continual migraines, fatigue, and fuzzy thinking, my brain shut down over simple things like spelling and vocabulary. In the end, I had a two-three hundred-word list I had to go through daily to remember simple spelling like 'colour' (or colour for those in North America) and the meaning of words like 'microphone'. On top of that were several visits to the hospital, including an operation.

At the end of 2023, I decided to take an extended break from my day job (at least six months but more likely a year or two) and work on recovery. It's been three months so far, and in that time, I've found that reduced stress, exercise, a change of diet, and an acceptance of not having a task to do have helped me begin to recover. I finished three books in that time (Ida's Clan, the first book of a new series 'Tachyonic', and one of the series called 'Draconis', which I write under the name Ethan Stand). I'm also 60,000 words into the next book from Weaves of Empire and almost finished Book 9, 'War' of The Stork Tower.

Without the stresses, I'm really enjoying life. I plan to get Ida's Clan out in the next two weeks (finalising the artwork and waiting for some editing). While I'm almost ready to put out the series 'Tachyonic', I'll work hard to get 'War' out sometime mid-year as the next book. Add to this several breaks at the beach or the slopes, a probable course to learn wood-turning, preparing for a trekking holiday with my wife in Europe, making some shoe racks from recycled wood, and a dozen other things I've been planning to do for years but been unable to get to.

That's the longer answer. I've enjoyed writing more in the last few months than in the previous few years and hope to finish several projects and start a few more. I appreciate your interest, Tony. (less)

"Hello" I scream. All I hear is "ello" echoing repeatedly back at me. It's been months and I'm starting to go insane. Update please!?

I realise I've been a bit absent and I do apologise. My excuse (or reason, depends on my level of self-delusion) is that the last seven months have been insanely busy. Regardless of what the truth about COVID is, or isn't, it really upped my day job workload. Even so, my brain and I had continued to work on the Stork Tower series and I'd managed about fifty thousand words.

Seven weeks ago I had had enough and managed to take five weeks away from the day job (accrued leave). In those five weeks, I managed another fifty thousand which puts me close to the length of Nascent and half the length of Contest. The reality will be it's somewhere in between.

With the country (Australia) opening up a bit my job is returning to normal and I have hopes of doing about five thousand words a week which will put me finishing in about two and a half months. At the same time, I've also been writing under my other name (Ethan Stand). In some ways, that's been a bit easier as that genre focuses more on the Apocalyptic, end of world scenarios, and some of what we've seen happen has helped get the imagination working.

Thank you for the continuing interest,

Tony(less)

Slow going

This is just a short note to explain why things have been slow. Unfortunately, I am one of those who react to the COVID vaccine. It is mostly lethargy, joint and muscle pains, headaches, and hard to breathe.

I'm improving, but it has put a crimp in my writing.

Apologies to all,

Tony
