ATM Vol. 2 Update And Weekly Release

As many of you know, recent personal events involving my parents and other responsibilities have impacted my typical workflow. Volume 2 of ATM (A Tail’s Misfortune) has unfortunately taken a back seat over the past few months. While the initial editing pass is mostly complete, there are still several critical steps left before it's ready for release.

Due to some unexpected developments, including a close family friend’s passing—someone who served as our family care doctor...

Back In Hospital: Dad

He showed initial signs of recovery and then it came back (he has been wearing a heart monitor the whole time sending data back to the hospital). I should still be able to write this week but just a heads up. The paramedics just came and took him back.

ATM Rewrite: B3 — 30. Worth Caring For

Author Note: Alright, we're back to ATM! Now that I've finished a lot of the technical stuff in Volume 2, I can focus on getting it formatted into Kindle, getting the artwork (still debating on a few things with that), and getting blurbs and things kicking around the bucket. We're starting it back up with a bang. ;)

Update Dad's Situation: Final

I'm about to release ATM's Chapter and today I'll be developing Volume 5 of UE and mapping it out chapter by chapter. That being said:

My dad is still requiring help. He's weak and needs help getting to the bathroom and his blood pressure is really low right now. We go in to see the VA doctors after everything the hospital doctors documented for us in the next several days.

He's doing better, just weak, wheezing and shaking when he tries to stand. We'll get him on updated meds soo...

UE Update: Planning

So much happened this week that I totally forgot that I also finished Volume 4 of UE last week! So, I need to do more planning with that this week. So, I can't really write the chapter today, I need to do a bit of planning. Sorry. Life has been a bit hectic lately.

Update #2

My dad is now out of the ICU and they’re sending him home with a heart monitor. It looks like we were in time to catch the problem before it got too bad.

things are looking up. :)

As for TO and the chapters this week, I’ll need to probably skip ATM but I’ll try to get to UE and today I’ll finish TO’s. It should be out tomorrow when some of the proofreaders get through it.

Medical Emergency – My Dad’s in the Hospital

Update 1:

My father was bounced between 3 different hospitals today.

1st hospital: Immediate support for his erratic heart and rapid blood pressure drops. They defibrillated his heart to get it back to normal (the electric shock device). That worked temporarily, returning it to a somewhat stable state.

2nd hospital: They took him to another one with expanded resources and doctors to get a CT Scan and MRI. His heart still goes erratic when he stands and his blood pr...

This Week Off For UE and ATM; See Below

Hi everyone,

I wanted to give you a quick update: I’ll be taking this week off from writing new chapters to take care of a few important personal errands—car maintenance, registration, license, taxes, and other necessary tasks that have piled up.

Any free time I do have this week will be dedicated to editing A Tail’s Misfortune Volume 2. Val is already making great progress on Volume 4 of Undying Empire, and I need to catch up! A Tail’s Misfortune was actually the first bo...

Author Note: Took a bit longer for me to edit and go through. The editors didn't get to fully go through it so there may be some errors for the early readers. These chapters just require a lot of writing. This one is pretty big and I needed to finish it. It's almost 10k words long, which is like two of my typical chapters. o7
