Hello!

So it's been some time since we last talked, hasn't it. That is a bit of a failing on my part, but it is what it is. 

I think I've mostly got myself situated in my current...situation... (need a better word there) 

What's going on now?!

That's the question isn't it. I now find myself at Texas State University - San Marcos. This is where I started my undergraduate career in Physics. I am now back here working on my Masters degree. I would love nothing more than to improve myself enough to be worthy of making a living as an author, but Physics is also my passion. There is something ephemeral about sitting down and trying to figure things out. It's fun. I do plan on taking this to PhD, but that's because I want to actually do it. I'm not being forced to do it.

Things did change to reduce my options to having to attend for my Masters; not getting a job with a Bachelor's in Physics really hurt my options, and I had to leave where I was living in Houston because I simply couldn't afford it because of another change coupled with the no job thing. Now I'm back in the Canyon Lake area attending university. Yup...

How about a big "THANK YOU!" to our parents, eh? They're truly heroes to us all. 

But what about book three?

I've not been able to work on it any. Between moving home, recovering from the unexpected changes, and starting the graduate program, I've just not had the needed drive to sit down and get through it.

This does NOT mean that it won't be written. It's going to be finished. I want to continue the story of Mason and Jacob.

Currently in the works is getting new covers for Time Jump and Eugenic Reprisal. I'm getting paid for working at the university, so I can afford the cover artist that did The Sleeping Man. That cover looks amazing, doesn't it?

I'll be getting those to you when I get them in. I'm also going to be doing some revisions to Eugenic Reprisal and Time Jump to fix some things that have been bugging me as well as you. None of the content will change, but I'm going to do my best to make everything more coherent. If there is anything you'd like me to consider, please let me know here in a comment or on my Facebook!

Moving Forward

Forward from here, I'm also looking at putting together a blog for my Physics classes. I'm taking all of my notes digitally on a Surface Pro 3, so how cool would it be to upload those to a blog for people to perhaps benefit from? I think it'd be pretty cool. But that's just me.
