I know, years since I posted here but life got in the way of everything else, including writing.

To be honest, I took a job to help out family members who were struggling. At first the job was the normal 40 hours a week deal, but that quickly changed. I went from 40 hours to 60 and more. I actually worked at this place 21 days straight with not a single day off. And it was very physical, so it left me really tired at the end of the day.

Fast forward to quitting that job, thinking I'd found something good, or at least better.

It lasted a year and during that year every single day became a little worse until I was told I would get written up for not calling out at least 2 hours before my shift.

The punchline there was that I fell on the stairs while getting ready to go out the door. So how could I call them 'in advance' when it was on the way out the door to go to work when I fell?

I've got a different job and I like it. No more long hours which means I'm back to writing again.

My current issue is I have over 60 books that lost their publishers and have to get new covers and formatting etc before they can be rereleased.

Do the math: 60 covers with each cover averaging $100 to $500+ equals a heck of a lot of money.

So, while I'm trying to get stuff back out, it's going to be a long haul.

And that doesn't even include books that I'd finished but which never got published because my publishers went under before they were even issued.

So there you have it.
