Sunday Update Time!

- I hit 59k on The Portal Dilemma, Book 4 of The Evaran Chronicles II. Evaran and M are awake now and discuss their next steps with the others. They head back to Mazarik's compound and discover he's evacuating it through his portal.

Isaac, Kate, Michael, and Li go to a solar farm that is one of several energy sources for the bunker. It's had inconsistent output and they want to see what's going on. Although it's been empty so far as they head to the control center, the bathrooms show recent usage...

- Michael has accepted the ACX project for Transition, The Inspector Dalton Files. He's already uploaded six chapters, and I've audio-proofed chapter one already. It's sounding great!

- I'm continuing my data-drive upgrade of my website. I have a process in place now and am focusing on the conversion of existing hardcoded pages to be dynamic. I've converted five books and their related audiobook pages so far. I'm making good progress here!

I hope you're having a great weekend!

Wednesday Update Time!

- I hit 56k on The Portal Dilemma, Book 4 of The Evaran Chronicles II. Isaac and Kate have an exciting moment at the bunker's community event which is the start of a strong relationship. Dylan awakes in the Torvatta's medical lab and goes over the Mazarik fight with Dalton and M.

- I sent the pronunciation guide for Transition, The Inspector Dalton Files prequel, to Michael, and he sent the first pass over. He's going to tweak a few things, then send it again. The ACX project for this will be set up after the Friday the 17th, then it's on to producing another audiobook!

- I've settled on an hierarchical organization for my knowledge base tool for my website and verified I can pull that data down. I was able to get all the links in I wanted for Transition, The Inspector Dalton Files prequel, and will use that as my test book.

I hope your week is going well!

I hope you have a great Monday and rest of week!

Sunday Update Time!

- I hit 54k on The Portal Dilemma, Book 4 of The Evaran Chronicles II. I also got caught up on adding timestamps for the chronology. Isaac and Kate now have a month in the bunker under their belt. I explore a day in the life of Isaac as he adjusts. Another scene covers them doing a weekly survey of the area and monitoring a threat from the East, then attending a community event, the first one the survivor group has ever had. The forecast for the relationship between Isaac and Kate may involve smoochies.

- I talked with Michael, and we're going to move ahead with the audiobook for Transition, The Inspector Dalton Files, after October 17th. I'll need to get the pronunciation guide ready this week. I'll use that as an opportunity to use my knowledge management tool to enter the first set of entries to define the hierarchical organization.

I hope your weekend is going well!

Wednesday Update Time!

- I hit 51k on The Portal Dilemma, Book 4 of The Evaran Chronicles II. Isaac, Kate, and others reach the survivor camp, but it's under attack by the mindless Denbores and their assorted alphas. Isaac goes ballistic upon seeing camp members being eaten alive, and he unleashes justice on the Denbores. Kate thinks fast and creates Emily's flying pattern from The Portal Effect, Book 10 of The Evaran Chronicles, to pick up the remaining survivors. I'm about to wrap up this scene, but it has a rough ending.

- I've been focused on my website some, and despite working on my knowledge base aspect, I've also been focusing on making it more data driven. I didn't worry about it in the early days since I only had a few books. Now that I have over thirty, it's getting rougher to maintain. This will ease that, and also pave the way for a new tech stack later.

I hope your week is going well!

I hope you have a great Monday and rest of week!

Sunday Update Time!

- I hit 49k on The Portal Dilemma, Book 4 of The Evaran Chronicles II. Evaran, Dalton, Dylan, Evot, and M have a big fight with Mazarik. While they get what they came for, the fight goes wrong in several ways. Kate, Isaac, and others leave the bunker on the apocalypse world and head back to pick up the survivor group.

- I talked with Michael, and we discussed the audiobooks for The Inspector Dalton Files. I'm going to be getting together the pronunciation guide for Transition, The Inspector Dalton Files prequel, then shoot it over to him. It's only 36k words, so it would be about four hours or so.

- I haven't forgotten about doing a knowledge base. I did some technical analysis of solutions and believe I have something that works and will integrate directly into my website. I have a few proofs of concept I need to code and test, but this will help me later on for things like creating pronunciation guides. I plan to go book by book and enter all the relevant information from characters to concepts. While I do have scattered notes, this will help centralize all that in an searchable format. It'll also allow readers to read more on the Evaranverse!

I hope your weekend is going well!

It will be up in audio retailers once ACX has finished its review.

Sunday Update Time!

- I have all the revised audio chapters for The Galactic Web, Book 3 of The Evaran Chronicles II. While it's going through the ACX process to be published to Audible, Amazon, and Apple, I plan to spend today getting the YouTube version out! The process usually takes me about 8 hours, although most of that time is simply how long it takes YouTube to handle and process the upload.

- I hit 46k on The Portal Dilemma, Book 4 of the Evaran Chronicles II. Dylan and Evot enjoy their time in the holo room while Dalton and M have a deep conversation in the command center. Evaran had spent his time doing research, and one of the maintenance hub rooms is explored. Evaran, Dalton, Dylan, Evot, and M have a plan that starts off with visiting the Rift Guardians.

I hope your weekend is going well!
