I’ve been trying to get back into the writing groove lately. And that’s led to things like updating links on websites, because writers are excellent procrastinators and will do anything that feels like writing but really isn’t.

That process led me to realize that I published the first book in the Rider’s trilogy in 2015. TEN years ago. Ten years. And since I published the next two books in the series over the next two years that means I also have not written a fantasy novel in EIGHT years. What??? Where did that time go?

Well, I know part of the answer. I went off and wrote a nine-book cozy mystery series under a different pen name. And published so many books on Microsoft Office I think someone needs to take my computer away. (But, hey, those are the books that let me write full-time for a couple of years, so I’m not going to complain too much about it.)

It makes me a little sad, though, that I haven’t written any more fantasy novels since then. I have ideas. I have at least three fantasy series bobbing around in my head that I just need to sit down and write.

But time is always a problem. And motivation. AI has not made the writing life easy these days. You think, “I could write that, but then someone would steal it and it’s not like it pays well to start with…”

Or, well, I think that way. And then I go lose myself in someone else’s novel that I paid for. Hm.

I now have a day job, too, which makes finding writing time a bit harder. But it’s more the priority and pre-defeat that are the problem. (Which is foolish, because I’ve had 3,800 folks buy the entire trilogy collection or book 3 in the series, so not like people don’t read my novels.)

Anyway. I hope y’all are well. I am. And I do have the intent to write fiction soon-ish. But I can’t say whether that will be a new fantasy series, a new mystery series, yet ANOTHER round of Office books or a romance or a thriller or…Yeah. I have issues that way.

But,hey, the individual book pages here have been updated, so at least you know I am in fact alive. Go me?
