Hey all! Before you’re all like, “OMG! Not another one of his boring emails that ends up straight in my wastebasket!” First of all, ouch! But no, this is not one of those. It’s something else entirely, actually. Something good! Or at least it is for me. I’m happy to announce that Under the Skin and The Unwanted Help, both part of the Under the Skin series, which is itself part of the Welcome & Goodbye, Earth universe, are officially coming out in August this year! For those who are interested, you should be able to pre-order them sometime today or tomorrow. Part one: Under the Skin > August, 04
Part two: The Unwanted Help > August 18
This time, I actually did the covers and the formatting of the books myself, based on the files my designer for the previous books gave me, and I must say I’m very pleased with how they eventually turned out! The reason they look greenish, like book 3, is because they actually take place during book 3. Of course, Luna, the dog, being Luna, the dog, always reminds me of that famous scene in There’s Something About Mary. In it, Ted, played by Ben Stiller, is picking up Mary for the prom and ends up getting his junk caught in his zip after using the toilet. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, then you should absolutely be ashamed, because it is hands down one of the funniest films ever made! Anyway, once the paramedics arrive and carry him into the ambulance, surrounded by a whole crowd of people, Mary’s brother Warren, who has an intellectual disability, keeps yelling, “He was masturbating!”, to which Mary keeps saying, “No, he wasn’t!” This is exactly the kind of situation I’m in at the moment. I’m announcing to the world that I finished two new parts of the Welcome & Goodbye, Earth series, while Luna keeps yelling that I generated them using ChatGPT, while Wife is like, “No, he hasn’t.”
As you know, the Welcome & Goodbye, Earth main story will have a lot of side stories, all of which will actually be part of the main story, introducing new characters and bringing characters from the main story in and out. Next up will be the prequel to Book 1, which I’m currently working on. Hopefully, that will still be this year, or if not, then certainly sometime in the first quarter of next year. Also, I seem to be swamped with so much work that I’ve decided not to stress about writing for the moment. I’ve noticed that I’m unable to focus on my writing when I know there are more urgent things that need to be done. I’ll also be going on holiday, so that will disrupt my routine. I’m guessing I’ll start writing again sometime in August. That is it. Enjoy your summer, and you’ll be hearing from me again in the usual newsletter on the 25th of August! |
#5 – Two new books, one very opinionated dog!
OMG! Not another one of his boring emails that ends up straight in my wastebasket!
