This past April (2025) I became quite ill, not knowing why or how to deal with this great unknown. May 10th saw me admitted to the emergency ward before being whisked to the eighth-floor surgical ward. After seventeen days in the hospital, I returned home with the diagnosis of Diverticulitis and eight inches of my large intestine removed along with the 'stricture' my body had built, creating a full blockage of my colon. We now know the blockage was 'completed' back on April 8th, so for a full month no nutrients were absorbed by my body and no waste was being emptied. I was malnourished and full of stuff no one wants to be full of.
The good news is that as of this date, June 13, 2025, I am on the road to recovery. I will have to watch my diet in order not to inflame my upper and lower intestinal tract, but I think that's a good thing. We all should eat more healthily - yes?
Now, onto my writing.
When I fell ill, I was working on 'A Rose by Any Other Name'. Sadly, my writing had fallen by the wayside. I'd felt too ill to work on anything, and my self-appointed release date of May 19th came and went with me in the hospital. This past week saw me going over what is already written, smoothing out some of the timeline issues, and making bullet point notes on future scenes. This book will not be set for publication any time soon, but I would like to have it ready before Christmas. Cross your fingers with me that this happens.
In other news, I have contracted voice actor Harry Frost to read 'An Unwitting Compromise'. He is slated to begin recording in October, so... I might have a new audiobook releasing at the same time as 'Rose'. Wouldn't that be fun?
