Hey there. It has been a while since I posted. And in that time, I been working behind the scenes on some things. What things? Well, let me update you on all of it.

First of all, Rainy Day Hotel is finally sent out to beta readers through Scribophile. And finally, new critiques are trickling in. With the short story now around 80 pages long with the recent rewrite, I know its a bit of waiting game for all the reviews before the possible final rounds of edits. I strongly feel that there is going to be a lot of positive feedback for this one, with all the work so far and I am so close to the final draft. In the meantime, I am working on putting together some cover art until all the reviews come in.

Beyond that, I’ve been writing some new stuff and figuring out what to edit on next. I’ve been jotting down a fantasy tale with a blind protagonist. It’s a half finished novella so far. But I’m sure I’ll see it to the end, and some day it’ll be a kindle release for all to read. But as for what can be on track for self publishing next, I’m still trying to figure that out. I have been working so long on this horror thriller, that I wanted to work on something a bit more simple and different. A change of pace would be really nice. I have a scifi short story on my computer. It’s about a man who moves into a house that an invisible girl is squatting in, and it’s a bit of a scifi romance. I think I’m gonna clean it up, share it around, and see what the reactions are before I consider self publishing it. Those raw reactions are so incredibly important.

And lastly, I wanted to do a giveaway. I haven’t given away a short story in a long time. And because its the middle of summer and hot for a lot of people, it might be nice to read an urban fantasy about a half siren girl who can control water. It’s called The Siren on Berry Ave and I will post the synopsis down below.

Half-bood. It’s a term for those not quite human. Offspring of monsters and humans. It is an issue that the United States has not known how to deal with. The solution for the longest time was to lock them away from the public. But when a new law is passed to make them citizens, and they are released into the world.

One of these half-bloods is Cyan. A teenage girl with a Siren blood flowing through her veins. With her mom long gone, her step father takes her in and, for the first time, enters the real world. But it’s not an easy one for a half-blood. In a world that hates monsters, it’s hard to find her place in it. And as she tries to find her way, she knows the monstrous half of her family is out there. And she fears he may come for her.

This e short story will be free from July 12th to July 16th, and you can grab your copy at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09X4STDYY.

And that is all that I have for now. I wish that I had something more exciting, but I don’t at the moment. I apologize for being slow as I work on this sort of stuff lately. Since taking a new job a year ago, my time management skills toward my writing after long work days (and work weeks), has been poor. But I’m not giving up. I got too much stuff written down to not share it with the world. Have a good week all. I hope have a new stuff ready in the near future.
