How Novel 3

I've been seeing all these books about pandemics being thrown about, marketing the real life problem.

I don't know about you but I don't want to read that kind of book right now. I want something to take me away from what may happen. Though it might help you city dwellers know what to do if it does come about. :)

I've been reading murder mysteries and supernatural books. No romance. I had enough of them growing up and most are the same but I occasionally read a paranormal one if it seems to have a plot besides the romance.

I read to escape real life, not dwell on it.

I do read select non-fiction. Titanic, writing, oak island are a few subjects that I like to read about.

But fiction wise I read to escape, travel to a different world/place where things get solved in a timely manner and the people in charge are intelligent, caring. Not out for their own good, selfish and childish.

Anyway, I don't want read about the massive consequences of human failure, just the consequences of individual failure being righted by one who swore to protect and serve and does.

How Novel 2

I've gone back to updating this blog, Sidereal Time, and Time after Time blogs regularly.

This is still my main blog.

With this isolation thing going on I may blog more than once a week. All this time on my hands.

As long as my reading doesn't snare me, that is. I've been reading more than writing this past week. And time gets away from me when I read. Worse than when I write.

Still working on my sci-fi book. It's slow going right now because something is simmering in the back of my mind but hasn't shown itself yet.

I'm a pantser so it will show itself when it's ready to be written.

Reading

I got hooked on a mystery series. I've read two of them so far. So I got a new author to read now.

I work on my book for an hour or two, then read after dinner. Kindle app but I don't have the money to pay for books right now.

99¢ or $1.99 Kindle if not free. Lots of good free books but the other books in series cost. I've bought the other ones in the mystery series as they were under$5. So I have 4 books for less than one paperback.

Still I love regular books. Just something about holding it in your hands.

Sci-fi is coming along nicely. I hope to be done with it by the end of this month.

I heard that the Con is postponed until next year. I still plan to have my books out this year. If this isolation is done by June or July I'm thinking about having a book signing at ABC Books.

We shall see.
