Hey there everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic week and not boiling in this crazy heat wave on the west coast. Yikes! Its hot! But enough of that. This is yet another post about the audio project and updates. There's not a lot to update you on. 

I didn't have much time this week, but I did have a couple windows here and there where I could continue my audio projects. I just started reading through the ghost story Late Shift at Pennies and I am about a third through Warped. And wow. Warped is interesting. I know it's one of the first things I ever published right after high school, but now reading through it ten years later, I'm not only finding it as great as I believed it was back then. It it is a bit dull compared to stuff I typically write now. When I started reading it out loud my goal strictly was to fix errors, improve flow, add minor details when needed, and deleting unneeded text.  I did not and still do not want to change the essential story, because it is the product of an entirely different mindset back then than what I would  have written today. If I were to start completely rewriting certain parts of it, I would be rewriting the whole darn thing and it would not be the same story at all. But I'm finding I am cutting a bit more out than I intended. Many are jokes or useless goofy characters that I must have thought was at the time I original wrote it, but I now find very pointless and immature. So I don't know what will become of Warped by the end. This B movie style dinosaur scifi story may end up being a short story by the end of the audio recording re-read, and I may have to re-release it as such.  But again, that is what this who audio project is about. It isn't just about audio books. The audio books is a by product of the revision process. A year after college, I decided to really head back into all my book stuff, and found it was a little bit of a mess, and I am trying to make every thing better and the best they can be. 

But right now what's being posted is Part 3 of the audio version of the Island, which is posted on Youtube @ https://youtu.be/eJJUbwJCpQc

And with all that said, I hope you enjoy what's here. And I will be back next Sunday for another post.

Hello there. I hope everyone is doing okay. I hope your safe and not are not melting from the heat wave. But once again there are some fun updates this week. There are two major things.

First of all, Lonesome Town has been revised and is now part of Kindle Unlimited program. So if you have a membership you can read it for free. In case you don't know what it is about I will post the synopsis down below.

When Kaylee dumped Jake she didn't know what he would do. She didn't know he would mope around in self pity and then take off to the mythical place called Lonesome Town, where broken hearts can be mended. But as Kaylee becomes increasingly worried about her friend she goes to find him. I her journey she learns Lonesome Town is a very sinister place that preys on its customers.

Check it out @ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DHC789L

It's free with Kindle Unlimited and $1.00 for Purchase.

The second thing I have to share is the grand finale of the audio version of The Island is now posted. So check that out if your interested. The link will be down below.

And that is what I have for this week. I hope to have more fun stuff to share soon. I hope everyone has a good week!

Hey everyone, it's time for another round of updates. And let's start with the big one, the fourth short story in The Last Witch Series, The Broken Princess, is now released in ebook form. I will post all the details down below.

While Fran and Brian travel through the mountain pass, the cold gets the better of them. Brian's father falls ill, and is soon knocking on death's door. That is until a knight shows up out of nowhere. The knight claims he's from kingdom close by. He sees that Brian is a witch, and makes him an offer. They will save his father, if Brian can save the princess. Brian is hesitant, but accepts the offer. Once welcomed into the castle Brian learns of the princess, who has the strangest illness he had seen. She is frozen to the bone. Her presence chills the air around her. Frost clings to her ghostly white skin. He's told she has demon inside of her and needs an exorcism. But to Brian, too many things don't add up.

It is available for purchase for $0.99 as an ebook Amazon
and is free with Kindle Unlimited.

It can be found  @ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YK6CYGT


Also the first part of a new audio story is posted. This time its the cute little fantasy called Socks & Fluffle Puffs. The link is down below.

And remember if you enjoy this, you can support two ways. You can:
- Go to the ebook page @ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RPLH1WP and purchase the ebook version, or flip through the Kindle Unlimited version (That helps as well).
-Or go to the patreon page for Project Stories @ https://www.patreon.com/user?u=10411921 and make a donation. I'm not asking you to subscibe to anything monthly like the Patreon model suggests. A one time donation to show your support is fine.

Beyond that my focus is on the final tale in The Last Witch Series, The Abyss. It still needs a cover sketched out and then brought into photoshop for finalizing. The actual story needs a final review, which I am about to begin soon. The story is shorter, around the length of Old Hobbs, so it shouldn't take nearly as long as The Broken Princess.  It's my goal to get this out before the end of the year.

Also the short In the Land of Gods is partially recorded into audio form, with my read out loud review process. It's fairly short, so that should be soon.

But after those two things, what is next? I have a half edited book that has been abandoned sometime back in 2015 because of college, called Finding Elodie. I want to get back involved in Scribophile writing community and workshop to get the rest of that cleaned up. I think that will be my new main focus, with a short story or possible side project here there to break up the tedium of working on one project all the time.

And that is all I have to share this week. If I have more stuff to share next week, I will be posting again. I hope you have a great week everyone!
