Post -Valentine's Day Work

Thai Sticky Rice, Old Skool
Taking the Sunday off today. Went to visit the Thai family in Chom Thong.  I watched as they made Thai Sticky rice, Old Skool.

I've been working steadily for weeks on the maps of the Aurin Cluster.

Creating new polities and micro-managing world details.  Arranging everything to make it a very interesting setting that will support at least 10 books of the TransStellar Saga series.

My fans have been clamoring for non-map content.

To that end I will push to finish my TransStellar Saga short story Anthology "A Pale Blue Sun", by April. Difficult.  My focus is really off.

I hope to post short stories or characters or something here.

Getting there with new maps, new energy, Despite Covid-19

 I am really starting to narrow down the details of the Varala Drift setting.
Happy with my progress. I finally have all the systems in the entire sector mapped. Yeah, I have written that before.

It has been difficult to focus.

Covid-19 is in Thailand. We stocked up on masks, and soap.

We bought food, rice, bottled water.

We are Untethered

I spent the better part of 6 months building a following on Quora, to this day.

Now it is 2020, and we are all living in the former future. Who knows what happens from here, in this timeline?

Nobody predicted the events of the last three years.

My option now is one goal, get this series out, and design it to be sustainable over a decade.

I am not going to just crank out stories to "feed the machine", but I want to push for four book releases a year, or more, even though I know that will be a punishing schedule.

Still working on the Aurin Cluster Setting design.

I have covers for the next two years, for that book series, associated backstory tie-in books, a collection of short stories from the Aurin Cluster Sector. 

I am also planning other books across multiple genres.

Some cover ideas, here.
