Despite the situation with the AC and all the running around that entails I’m still working on High Tide. I’m also editing Crystal Blade at the same time so that I can get it off to the editor next week in time to upload it to Amazon on 8/25 for my 8/29 release.

High Tide has not gotten a lot of interest on Vella, however, so I’m musing about jump-starting the Hidden Empire novella Goddess of the Nile and posting that on Vella as well. I could do a M-W-F release schedule for High Tide and a T-Th release for Goddess (and yes, I can write both at the same time. I’ve done it before, and it actually helps with output because if I’m not in the mood to work on one story I can work on the other one).

The reason why I’m eager to get reads on Vella is that I make seriously decent income there. What with gum treatment and household bills right now I need to follow the money. Of course, if any rich patron ever wishes to subsidize my work I ain’t gonna say no.
