Newsletter Week of 1/19/24 extremely abridged version

All news this time. Vol. 3 got wrapped up on Thursday. So. Hooray. And once I have regained some reasonable fraction of my usual energy, I will actually be excited about that, but what I am right now, mostly, is tired. My project for the next little while is consolidating the book into a single word doc (I write each chapter as a separate GDoc, for boring reasons) then editing. 

Why do I edit before sending it to the editors over at Podium? Because the guys at Podium are looking to make sure the names are spelled consistantly and commas suffer minimal abuse. They aren't looking to clean up sentences and paragraphs, restructuring a chapter or anthing like that. So I edit make it better before sending it to the editors.

Current ETA on Vol 3 getting published is... I want to say August or something, but honestly, I don't really remember. Podium puts out my books roughly quarterly. 

Related, as you may have picked up from the exhausted tone of this newsletter, I'm going to take a writing vacation in early February. Date TBD, but probably starting around the 7th. There will be a break in posting then, but until then, the schedule stays the same. 

My own pace of writing will slow down a lot as I get Vol. 3 edited and start pulling together some basic ideas for Vol. 4, but it won't come to a complete halt. This is a major reason I write so far ahead of what I post to patreon- continuity of service. 

It has been a wild ride, getting these books out, and you guys are the people who really make it happen. Thank you so much for all your support.

PS. Wierd-ass rant about the strange connections between Have Gun Will Travel, Star Trek the Original Series, and Slumrat Rising will be coming but needs more time to cook, and frankly, I don't have the brain for it right now. What those connections might be, I leave as an excersise for the audience.
