Well That Escalated Quickly!

So, one minute there I am making progress on my book and then blammo! A pandemic leads to an apocalypse-like shortage of basic supplies caused by people panicking that they might have to go into quarantine.

Meanwhile, they’re all having far more contact because suddenly we all have to go foraging daily to try to find basic necessities in multiple shops that have been emptied!

Just think of medical staff working long hours and finding nothing left.

Needless to say, this has put a kink in my writing progress because the time to forage is early in the morning and that’s when my creativity flows. By the time I’ve scoured shops to find the few things I actually need, I come home exhausted.

So how’s everybody holding up? I’m actually not too bad off compared to a lot of people. My area is low infection rate too.

Well, if you’ve had to self-isolate, a lot of authors have been putting their books out for free to keep you entertained. Smashwords has organised a central place to look for these books and I’ve added my entire series to the free list, barring only the last unfinished episode. If you hadn’t caught up yet, now is your chance until April 20.

All 9 episodes are free on Smashwords.

In other news, I’m on Chapter Ten of Thirteen. If I can manage a few mornings of uninterrupted work, I’ll get this book finished. Leave me a little something on the supermarket shelves, will you?
