What's Forthcoming...

I'm currently working on "Emily and the Alien Tentacle" while also working on a novella, "Laurie and the Alien Tentacle". "Laurie's" taking longer than I anticipated, but that's because it's more involved.

"Emily" should be out for you by the middle of this next week. It's a departure from where the stories have gone previously, but it opens doors for other possibilities in the structure of the stories.

Don't worry -- there'll still be plenty of hot tentacle action and horrific endings to things. I wouldn't dream of taking that away from you.

Anyhow, off to take care of myself and try to get better.

Health Update...Bleh

Damned cold has settled into my head. Sore ears, throat, lots of phlegm...

 

I don't get sick very often but when I do, it really makes an appearance. BAH!

 

I've never made a very good patient at all. I've always been more along the lines of an impatient, really. I want it all over with, and I want it all over with now. Sadly, it rarely listens to what I want and only does what it wants.

 

I'm hoping that with plenty of fluids, and not overdoing things, I can get better soon. This doesn't mean I won't be writing, because you can bet your ass I'll be doing that, but I'm not going to push myself the way I normally do.

 

If you have any suggestions on what I might to do beat this shit, please post them in the comments. If they're not too off-the-wall, I'll give them a try.

 

Thanks, guys.

Hurray for Flu Shots! (Begone, Tentacles of Illness!)

I've been dealing with a mild version of the flu for the past few days, and am very glad that I got the flu shot, as someone else I know who did not get one has been terribly sick with it for over two weeks now.

 

I know that people out there don't think that getting a flu shot is particularly important, but it is. My friend has been off work for that entire time, as he can't get his thoughts together enough to actually do work. I know that as an author, I need to be able to think clearly (yes, even tentacle porn needs clear thinking skills) to be able to write the next story and the next.

 

If I hadn't have gotten that flu shot, I might be going a mile in my friend's shoes, and that just doesn't sound like a whole lot of fun to me, you know?

 

Anyhow, take care of yourselves everyone. I'm going to curl up on the couch with my dog and my laptop and see if I can't beat out another "...and the Alien Tentacle" story for you all.
