Bumps. A quick Hiller update.

Well. Don’t you just love it when your going along according to plan and a little “bump” in the road completely derails you? This week was my little “bump”. For the first time in fourteen years I ended up in the ER. Now, I have one eye taped, half my face is numb, I can’t talk well, and I can’t focus my other eye (it’s my bad eye, anyway). I’m probably not going to be doing much computer work for at least a week. (And softball practice with kid is out for a few days too 😦 )

It’s taken me until Saturday morning to even be able to see the computer.

I was in the finishing stages of Gunn/Ayla’s book (Hiller #5), with the intentions of releasing it tomorrow. That is unfortunately not going to happen. I am probably going to have to move it back to next Thursday or Friday; hopefully I’ll be able to actually see the computer screen well enough to do the last few things that need done by Monday or Tuesday.

I was also in the process of finishing up a new Storm Story, but that is also on hold at this time.

I don’t really know how well I will take to not being able to work for a full week (or longer–I am already going crazy!), especially since I can’t read anything right now. (I predict a lot of audiobook listening over the next few days). I do not sit still very well at all. I’ll probably drive the family insane!

One last note, if you haven’t grabbed a copy yet, Hiller #1 (The Risk) is currently still $1.99–$1.69 on my new (in-progress) webstore—for another week. On 3/13 it does go up to $3.79. Hopefully, I’ll get Gunn out by Thursday/Friday of next week. After that, it’s Giavonna, Grady, and Greer’s turns!

And early this summer, barring any sudden “little bumps”, Madison and Dom will get their story told! (And a new Season is in the works, and I am working on Auggie and Marin and Claudia’s books now (or, it may be Auggie then Claudia then Marin–just depends on their stories, lol).

Anyway, just wanted to give you all a little update!

Here’s a link to the newly updated webstore. I’m finally getting it rebuilt, so I can offer better deals than the retailers, and things that won’t really be financially feasible to put up on Amazon or Apple, like shorter works or special bundles. I still need to get Bailey and Zoey up on there, and all of the Seasons and the Case Files. I was in the process of doing that before I ended up in the ER. The webstore is being customized and laid out and reorganized, still. But hopefully next week it’ll be exactly as I want it!

(On a seriously funny note, though, I looked over at the wall chart in the ER–my attending physician was a Dr. Patel. I thought that was hilarious! so…here’s a link to Virat Patel’s novella. It’s still a freebie! https://lostriverbooksales.com/products/before-the-rain-breaks-ebook).
