Book 14 followup and 15 update

Hello All,

Slight oopsy and book #14 wasn't in KDP Select aka Kindle Unlimited for some reason. It's a checkbox that I know I hit but ya know, oh well. It's fixed now.

Sorry whoever out there was mashing their head against the keyboard wondering why book book 1-13 was on KU and 14 wasn't. I don't know your name, but hats off to you for mashing through book #13 like a champ! I wish I could see what you liked about it but you read it through solid apparently, so must have been decent ;)

Book 15 still in the works. It's going to be massive. By far the most characters introduced. Basically cramming in every single type of character I hadn't made yet that I find interesting in the most asked for setting. It'd better be massive also! I want my second "season" of books to be of comperable size which means this book has to be like two pretty beefy books in one. And you're in luck because it's going to have like 8 arcs, har har!

"What was the city like during the collapse?"

Well this book hopes to finally directly answer that instead of beating around it like the last 14 books did. Also hopefully this'll answer it in an interesting way instead of ramming it down everyone's throat.

I'd spoil the characters if I thought anyone read this. :-)

Suffice it to say, if there was some character you'd been like, "Damn I wish ______ had been in the story" this will be your book. :)

Tentatively called "The Duel," between you and me, the book's named "The Best of What's Left." :-)

book 18 first draft done, 84k words

 book 18 first draft done, 84k words. on solid writing days I was writing round 10-12k words per day which is insanely ambitious. Tons of positive energy in chat is what kept that going. Thanks everyone for the awesome outpouring. this book isn't too big or too small, it's just right! It might get a tiny bit bigger as I do a second draft, but I'm very happy with it. Tells 18 great stories.  I wish i could have done more, but this timing is perfect. I got 16 stories done a bit ahead of time, and had time to squeeze in two more. It'll take about two weeks'ish to do a second draft and if there isnt anything i glaringly missed and no compelling reasons to squeeze in more stories, I'm very happy with 18 stories for book #18.  I initially wanted it to be huge, but then upon reviewing the timeline and the enormous amount of physical and mental effort it takes to write stories, I realized it would have taken probably a year or so. Ironically I had initially given myself

PNW Affliction 1: Recycled - The Retrospective

PNW Affliction 1: Recycled - The Retrospective Alright. This's been a long time coming, and there's probably no real better place to start than at the beginning. Spoilers abound, although this's mostly "behind the story" type stuff. This book isn't actually the beginning of the story by any means. It's the beginning of the main character though, and it's how this whole "universe" got started. Basically I had a dream one night of walking and it getting progressively darker until there was no light left. Just like nearly every single one of my books, this started out with a basic premise. Really no more than a "first act" if you will. I wrote the first act, peppered in with some things that were real, like me having a cat that played with a plastic bag while I tried to sleep. I can't exactly remembered where the premise came from for act two, except that I've always been fascinated by recycling and the recycling logo.

BOOK 18 status

 Book 18 first draft is done. Over 72k words. I wanted it to be bigger but I'm flat out out of time.  I'm putting a little blog at the end of it since its going to be my last traditional book. It's getting harder to write. I notice the last 30% of each book gets very hard to write. Like stuffing water in a water bottle that's already full, but trying to get the last airbubbles out.  My heads getting fuzzier again and I notice I'm making a lot more typos. I probably have another of bad migraine episodes coming.  Plus the news is getting worse. So hopefully putting the blog at the end of my book is a nice book-end to the whole thing. Sort of explained how I came up with the timeline and my predictions for the near future. Going to try to squeeze in a few more stories into book 18 and plan on publishing it Sept 15th. Hopefully a few more lighthearted stories instead of all the doom and gloom, it's hard to find escapism right now, so we'll see. I know i could ha
