We’re Half-Way There!?

Hello VIP Reader

MAY RECAP

This month has been “normal” for me, in the sense that I’m now nearing 90 days of self-quarantine and every day is like any other day. Having used Google to do a quick search, I have been home for 87 days. Close to 90, but yeah, it’s been a while. In this time I have done a lot of cleaning, writing, and put together more puzzles than I’ve probably done in my lifetime!

But more about my writing. In May I “slipped” a bit and delivered two of five Friday Fiction stories late. Why? I can’t really say. But I’ve done some things in my personal life to prioritize my writing in conjunction with my “9-5” paying job. I just needed a bit of a reset. We could all use that every now and again.

Don't worry, Friday Fiction lives to see more Fridays. Together we have reached the halfway mark (I can't believe it) and there will be 52 stories to look back on come 2021. In the meantime, I have other news. If you visit my Patreon you'll see a BRAND NEW TIER! The $2 Stonehaven Episodes tier! And I want to tell you a bit of back-story about it:

I must give credit where it is due for this and thank Garrett Robinson (check him out, especially his YT videos, cause they can be life-changing) for giving me a tiny push in this Friday YT video to do this. I’ve honestly wanted to release episodic pieces of my Stonehaven novels ever since I watched him do it back in 2014. Well, in 2020 I’m going to give it a try. I’ll be revisiting, rewriting, revising and repackaging all Stonehaven novels I’ve already written. They need it and will serve two purposes:

1. I’ll get to brush up on what I wrote over two years ago.
2. You can consume each novel in bite-sized chunks along the way.

Full disclosure: For at least the remainder of this year, everything I release will be what I’ve already written but they will receive a completely new coat of paint as I intend on making changes and updates to these novels. I’d like to say new content will come in 2021, but I won’t set myself up for possible failure by saying that (at least not right now).

This new tier is just $2 a month! How often I will release episodes, how many episodes and how long each episode will be is still yet to be announced, but there will be more information and you'll be the first to hear about it.
