The Chronicles of Discovery

For those of you who’ve read The Broken Bond, you know that the ending is not nice tied up into a happily ever after or even a happy for now. I wrote the book twice, even after losing the entire book and much of the data back in the Great Data Loss of May 2021.…

Trying Something New

I will be the first to admit I’m not the most outgoing person ever. I have trouble sometimes interacting with others, not inside my small circle, and I take time to decompress after gatherings. I’m a typical introvert, and I don’t push myself to get involved with things that don’t interest me. That might have…

The Naming of a Series

I’ve finally named UFBS (unnamed fantasy book series). The series’ name has become The Chronicles of Discovery.

Setback

The tongue-in-cheek art above accurately portrays my frustration at the situation. I started this post on my computer to find out that it seems another hard drive is messed up. I got back from the repair guy, and unfortunately, it is still not fixed, but I don’t blame him. He did everything in his power…
