They are all good. Hubby is sick with a respiratory infection of some type but like most men, is stubborn and won't go to the doc. but eventually he may have no choice if it doesn't improve.

He does have pneumonia so it will be a slow recovery but he may be past the worst of it-I hope. Unless he does something stupid like pushing himself too hard.

You write very well, too! I know you have written books before, but the way you write is very nice and keeps things interesting. Even if I'm not so much of a reader of anything, I do enjoy the series when I do get back to it now and again.

Even if I'm not so much of a reader of anything, I do enjoy the series when I do get back to it now and again. Thanks. I should hope after almost six decades of writing stories I got relatively good at it LOL. I'm not rich from my writing , but I think the biggest issue is promotion and marketing, which can be so pricey. If you don't you remain in the weeds, if you do trying to get more exposure you struggle in the weeds. That is probably the one downfall of going Indie. Takes a lot longer to get a readership unless you have the $$ to invest in heavy advertising. But the books, despite smell niche and eccentric subject/genre, all average 4-5 stars in Amazon reviews so it is just a waiting game and as long as people enjoy them I feel I have made my mark on the world.

I'm sure many people enjoy your books! but you are right about the struggles within the weeds... I have been really getting into writing short horror stories, and I wanted to get them all compiled and published into a book at some point. I love horror and writing, so, hopefully, that will work out somewhat.

Horror is probably my favorite genre for anything, honestly. I love writing dramas, but horror is so thrilling. I love the creepiness of everything! XD And thanks for the encouragement

I'm not a horror fan at all but love scifi and fantasy and i there are horror emollients that is when I don't mind them. But straight horror I'm not into at all. As much as I love the weird and wacky LOL.

We all have our preferences. Like, I'm not too much into scifi, unless it's the paranormal or supernatural element of it. If it's like Star Wars or Star Trek then I'm not into it. But they're all still fun in their own ways.

But they're all still fun in their own ways. True we all do and I do love Star Trek type Scifi, but I also LOVE things like The Dragonriders of Pern, or the Last Herald Mage where there are some fantasy elements. And of course the nonhuman main characters like Lessa's Ramoth (dragon) or Vanyels' Yfandes (equine Companion) are just my cup'a'tea for sure! The telepathic characters like the dragons and the Companions , are things I love and have incorporated into my own work. Been having all kinds of fun writing with the Felakoons. The supernatural or paranormal is cool too and I love when its part of scifi/fantasy. I have really eccentric reading tastes as you probably already know, and probably why Warriors, even tho meant for the YA market is an absolute fave of mine.

We do share some similar aspects of story types we enjoy. I am more paranormal/supernatural oriented, but I also do enjoy fantasy/sci-fi when it still coincides with real-life aspects. That's why I really enjoy Warriors, too. Because everything is real and logical, except it's all from the fantastic POV of the cats. It's amazing.

Agreeed! Well since you like Horror I did the dive and shared my one and only Horror story I ever penned for the Halloween events. Its in m short story book and it fit the bill and is actually not tied to NEW BLOOD. I'd be interested what you think.

I liked your horror story. It was very dramatic. By the way, not sure if you wanted it or not, but you get a prize for placing.
