It's strange that I've had to write seventeen first draft novels to get to this point. This was one of the first stories I created for this series; fifteen months later I begin to write it with the entirety of the world I've built lifting it up... ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Ž

Weeks end and Book 17 is done... That just sounds crazy really. I start book 18 on Monday... That sounds crazier.

Anyway have a great weekend everyone. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Better option than just killing them ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Ž or, you try to kill them and fail; this then changes their direction and motivation immediately and leads to them being a wild card where anything can happen. You don't know what someone will do until they have nothing to lose. ๐Ÿค”

The Chained Space Series - D.N. Schmidt Jay Jordan and his space junk salvage crew travel the Domain, bending the law like a pretzel and sneaking their loot past wormhole security. All he wants out

Looking for gift ideas?

A salvage crew goes after a ship lost in the deadliest place in space. They battle alien gangsters, the galactic government, and their own minds.

Great for fans of Firefly, Cowboy Bebop, and other fun space adventures!

Something new to carry me through the dimming months. If youโ€™re into shortwave radio, amateur writing, or hacky web design, check out this throwback to the surreal 1980โ€™s with my first two stories: Signal Bleed and Ghost Frequency.

Editing myth: Weโ€™re waiting like vultures with our red pens, eager to tear your work to shreds. A podcast I listened to recently, said copy editors often introduce errors, try to rewrite your work, and flag things they shouldnโ€™t.

Ah, Friday we're here again.

Roundup... 44,000 words of Book 15 done heading into half term. That was a good week of writing.

It's just shy of half way story wise too so a good time to break for a week.

Hope you're all okay and have a great weekend. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Ž
