Explaining my long absense

The past few months, I have been taking a step back from my blogs.  That is in part due to how hectic this year has been.  It has also been due to a sense of ennui that has been encompassing my life this year.  The burdens of normal everyday life has been getting to me in a big way this year.  That, as well as my own preferences when it comes to working on my writing projects, has made any work slow going.  Since it has been a while, I thought I’d get a little something out there to let you know I’m still alive.

First off, I think a priority of my work has been on a special project.  As you all might know, my free stuff features the heroines created, and owned, by Mr. X.  He has always been a good person to answer any questions I have of his characters, and I know he is in a similar boat that I am in.  At the beginning of this year, I had started in on three script adaptations of my Halloween and Holiday stories.  Unfortunately, due to the ennui, as well as the hectic work schedule that erupted this year, I only got one of them completed, and I sent it to Mr. X.  I had done this to help take some burden off of him for his site, as well as to keep my own skills for writing script from getting rusty.  Hopefully, it is a help to him, and if he does use it, we should know if not by Thursday, before the 12th.

Second, I’ve been trying to make progress on the next published work, which will feature a new heroine, well, she’s not all that new.  She showed up at the end of The Thief’s Folly, as well as the antagonist of the publication.  This had been slow going, sadly, but I am hoping to have it done by Halloween.  Maybe this new self imposed dead line will be a help to me.

Third, the next story that I post on Mr. X’s Free Site is still in the works.  It is literally stuck mainly due to the delay on my next publication.  It is quite possible that once the new publication is done, the next story, Flies In The Ointment, will come flowing out of me, and into the word processor.  Sometimes, that is how it goes.

I still have plans for the next publication.  That one has been halted since before the midway point of last year, mainly due to the election.  I still plan to change the character that is to be the antagonist.  I think the whole election still caused me some second thoughts about the story, but still not enough to make me want to give up the story.  It could be that once the other publication is done, this one will also start to flow.

On another note, I’ve started to do short little things for some artists on Deviant Arts, and I’ve been debating about offering my services to others, writings little stories for their images.  The few I did for free had been fun to do, and I when an image inspires an idea, it just flows out of me.

Anyhow, this is the writing part of why I’ve been so silent and reclusive lately.

Mid February update on projects

Well, we are halfway through February, and I’ve been busy with various projects.  While some I won’t go on about at the moment, I will touch upon the one that needs to be mentioned.  I will also recap the items that are already out.

First, if you pay attention on the Super Heroine In Bondage forum, you will have seen that I posted a teaser for my next story for Mr. X’s free site.  That story, which I may have stated in prior postings, is called Flies In The Ointment.  I will admit that part of the long time since initial planning, and getting this much together has been because of other projects I’ve been working on.  Plus, the holidays for me had been a very busy and hectic time, so that story was on the back burner.  After getting info from Mr. X all together, I was able to make enough headway on this tale to have the preview ready.  If you haven’t read it yet, here is a link.  I may share it also on the blog a little later.  Please comment below if you’d like to see that.

I also plan to start making more progress on the upcoming epublications.  Odds are that I’ll finish the first Light Cloud adventure before the halfway point of the year.  If you’ve been reading all of these, you know that the other one, which will be the first story of Elsanne, was delayed because of the parody of the election that would be in it.

Regardless of that, I was able to get one item out, as you readers should know.  Since Amazon now has paperback options, I got the first three adventures of Aquamarine, and put it together in an anthology.  So, if you haven’t picked up a copy yet, I shall provide all the links right here.

The first paperback publication is out.

Hello all.

As some might have figured, my initial plans did not pan out for paperback versions of my works.  The problem was the length of the original story, so I had to rethink my plans.  What I ended up doing was compiling those three stories into an anthology.  It took a few attempts to get that going, since I am a little new to the paperback option, but I finally got it figured out.

So that means that The Early Adventures of Aquamarine is now available.  I’m sure some of you are wondering why I did it this way.  Well, it’s simple.  I know not everyone has a Kindle, or a Nook, or what ever ereaders are out there.  I, personally, didn’t start using one until recently.  I, for the most part, stick with paperbacks.  I know they take up space, but I am both modern and old-fashioned.  I also know that the Star Trek franchise has done this as well.  Their Star Trek: Corps of Engineers series started out as e-books, and anthology paperbacks were later released after so many e-books were released.  I own all of those.

So now, I present the links to The Early Adventures of Aquamarine.  It is Amazon exclusive.  The Kindle version is $4.99 (which is not even the cost of two of the individual stories), and the paperback version is $6.99 (which is actually the cost of the Kindle version plus paperback production costs, but still cheaper then buying all three publication as ebooks).  Here are the links, for those of you interested.

Kindle version: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MS89RHE
Paperback version: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1520391862

I hope you all take advantage of this, especially those who don’t have e-readers, and like paperbacks.

Mr. Klimstit.

End of the 2016 update.

Well, another year is almost over.  I’d like to say I had accomplished more with this year, but sadly, life kept throwing me curve balls.  Still, with all the downsides, I need to try to focus on the positive.  For that reason, I am going forward with my goals for the next year.

First off, let’s start with the one of the free projects.  Flies in the Ointment is the ninteenth story that I’ve embarked on in the main series of stories I contribute to Mr. X’s free site.  I only have the first sentence written, but the whole story is planed out.  Hopefully, I can get a teaser bit up before the end of January, and the whole story up before the end of the year.  If things go well, I might even be able to start in on story twenty.

With that over with, let’s look at my e-publications.

First off, The Contaminated Couture is still in the works.  Hopefully, I will be able to get the rest of this story together, and published before the end of June.  Once it goes up for sale, I will be initiate part of a new change which I will go into a little later.  This story will be the first story featuring a new heroine named White Cloud.  A teaser for this was in my recent e-publication, The Real Winner.

Second, Stealing From The King, the first story that will have the lead of Elsanne, the thief who first appeared in The Thief’s Folly.  This story, while planned out, must get changed.  The plot came to me during the course of the 2016 election, which I will admit, did not go the way I figured it would go.  Because of this, and in the name of good taste, I must refigure who our main antagonist is.  Once I have that figured out, I shall start yping it up.  That should be before the end of the year.

Covering those two titles, I have to start plotting out Aquamarine’s next adventure.  As of right now, I’m not sure what that will be, but it should be interesting once I figure it out.  Speaking of her, however, I am also announcing a new event.  Starting on January 1st, probably when this entry is posted, I will be beginning offering some of my works in Paperback format.  The cost will most likely be the same.  Hopefully, this will allow more of you to be able to enjoy my published works.  After that, when a new publication comes out, I will be doing the same with another older works.  This also means all my publications will be limited to Amazon.  Given the biggest bulk of my sales come from Amazon, this should not change things too much.

That is all I have for now, but please keep an eye out for things.  I will share the link once the change is done with The Hidden Truth.

The Fourth Adventure of Aquamarine is out.

Well, it has been a little while since my last memo, and part of that has been because a very busy home life, which includes chaperoning a trip, prepping for the holidays, and real life in general.  Plus, with the current election, it has all been overwhelming, especially with my writing.  Despite that, I’ve manage to accomplish something, so here it is.

I am proud to say that I finally completed one of the three epublications I had plotted out.  This one, entitled The Real Winner, involve Aquamarine in her fourth adventure, once again having her face off against Mr. Klimstit.  There is, however, one twist.  This time, he’s not the villain she’s going after.  This time, two thugs have broken into his warehouse.  Why did they do that?  What does Aquamarine do?  You will have to find out in The Real Winner.  Also included with The Real Winner is a bit of the first adventure featuring the heroine White Cloud as the protagonist.  She first appeared in The Thief’s Folly, and I recommend you pick it up.  It is available on Amazon, Smashwords and on Barnes And Nobles Nook.  The links are below.

Amazon: https://kdp.amazon.com/amazon-dp-action/us/bookshelf.marketplacelink/B01N992JA3
Smashwords: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/684668
Barnes and Noble: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/s/2940156821990

On another note, a story featuring Elsanne, the thief whose spirit is passed on to another in The Thief’s Folly, won’t be done yet.  The main antagonist of that story had been planned to be a slight parody of one of the candidates.  For that reason, the character will be changed before I start writing it.  There for, once I have it figured out, I shall get going on it.  Hopefully, before Christmas, I can get more of my next free story done.

That’s all I have, in a nutshell.  As always, here are all the links to my stuff.  Buy the E-publications, and read the free stuff.

Announcing an upcoming publication.

Alright, I know I’ve been quiet again for a bit.  Life has been running me round in circles.  That being said, you’ll be happy to know that My fourth epublication is nearing completion.  I recently finished proofreading it, and once I get done with the final edit, I will be ready to post it up for sale.

Now, what all will this include.  Well, for the first time, I plan to suggest previous stories in the series.  I also plan to add at least a teaser for one of my next two epublications.  I had hoped to get three done this year, one especially before Election Day in the United States, but given who I will be parodying, might be best I didn’t get it done in time.  I had introduced new characters in The Thief’s Folly, and they will be getting series of their own.  I will also include the titles of other works in the series.

That being said, I can hope I can get another one done by the end of the year, but given how hectic my main job gets after Thanksgiving, I would not be surprised if no more epublications come out this year.  That being said, however, I shall be looking to get a cover image together soon, and once it is read, and the final editing is done, I shall be putting up the next of my series for sale.

As always, I share the links to all my other things, and ask you to keep coming back here for more updates on my works.

Some news after months of silence

I know it has been a while since I posted on here, and part of that has been because of a very busy summer.  As some of you are aware, I am a family in real life, and I have a day job.  It is for this reason why I have been on the quiet side this past Summer.  Having one’s child around requires more secrecy when typing my work.  Couple that with catching up on various projects under my real name, and it has caused a delay in other things.

Now, this doesn’t mean I have been idle.  No.  I have managed to get progress done on some projects.  First off, I’ve managed to make progress on Aquamarine’s next adventure.  I am hoping to be done with it in the near future.

I also have been working on the first story feature a heroine who debuted in The Thief’s Folly.  The heroine White Cloud will have her first adventure, which I’ve been working on.  She will be facing off against a secondary villainess from The Thief’s Folly, Rhode Island Runt.

I have been away from it, but I have a first line for my next free story, which will feature a few buxom ladies from Mr. X’s pantheon.  The heroines will be Fly Woman and Ms. Americana.  I won’t say much more right now.

There is also one more epublication planned, and I doubt it will be ready by election time, but that would be poetic if it was.  However, that might also be best.   Not the first time I worked on three stories set around the same time, at the same time.  For the time, however, I am going to try and get this ready in due time.

I would like to state now, that I have gotten updated cover art for The Thief’s Folly, and lowered the price.  It is my believe that the recycled image I had been using due to a loss of communication with Nordic Fury, as well as the higher price, led to its low sales.  With the new image, however, I am hopeful that it and the price, will lead to higher sales.

For now, here are all the links to my products.  Please pick up a copy, if you haven’t already.  A lot of work goes into these stories.
