Bits and pieces, Vol .1

Hello world,

Still alive and kicking. So, what's happening these days? Well, there's good and bad news....

The Bad News

My bicycle broke. Which is REALLY limiting and annoying. I made some calls. Alas, a part had to be ordered. Which it was, but it has not been delivered yet. Thank heaven Zwollywood has good public transportation. Otherwise not having my bicycle would be even more annoying.

Also, planning the commercial campaign for A Guy, Two Girls and a Serial Killer and Buried Secrets is going to take (more) time. So, I'm afraid patience will be required.

The Good News

Star Trek Discovery has begun. And, so far, Season Two is (shaping up to be) better then Season One. At the same time, Star Wars Resistance appears to be planting some serious seeds and getting ready for going darker and more adult. The mid-season trailer of Resistance was a good indicator that this was going to happen, but it nice to see it actually happening.

Finally, while commercial campaign is (slowly) doing its thing, I have begun work on my third novel of the August Adventures. I already wrote a chunk a while back, which I'm now typing into Word to get the manuscript started.

(And get back into the mood for writing the rest of the novel.) Also, the title is now Chess Games in Cairo. (The plan is for that to be the final title. But no promises. We'll just have to wait and see what happens.)

That's all for now folks,

Stuff happening

Hello world,

So....January is here....yeah ! In fact, we're two weeks into 2019. And there is stuff happening. Like....

USS Pathfinder

Alas, due to circumstances, the plug has been pulled on the adventures of the USS Pathfinder. A Play-by-Email role-playing game, this marks the end of eighteen years of Star Trek adventures. I wasn't around from day one, but still....we had gone run and it was fun. And I'm going to miss the old girl.

Novels

A Guy, Two Girls and a Serial Killer has been proofread and corrected. Thus, bringing publication one step closer. But now comes the hard part....planning the promotional campaign. I have limited funds, so I need to pick my moves carefully. But pick them I will.

TV-shows

Finally, the Christmas void is behind us. And one by one, all the shows I am following are coming back on the air. And even better, it's only a couple more days before season two of Star Trek Discovery airs. I know that season one took a lot of flak, but I am hopeful that season two will be better.

At the very least, it will give Captain Pike some much needed extra/new episodes. I mean, come on....Captain Kirk gets 78 episodes and six movies - Kelvin timeline stuff doesn't count - and what does Pike get ? Three episodes. Two of which were rehashes of episode one, with just a frame story around it. That sounds a little off-balance to me.

Anyway, that's all for now.
