With this in mind, I have a goal on bringing people back to the site or at site (I have considered moving the site to the top of the domain.  That will likely mean new postcasts or other works on the site.  I have a short story written and recorded in the Shadow Hunter series, Shalli’s last mission as a Hunter.  I also have two more sections for the Exiled series (the follow ups to Buried in the Sand), written which I will likely start podcasting at some point hopefully soon.  Still need to set a schedule for recording and writing.

I will also being posting and writing about other things.  I have a couple of books that I have read recently and may put up reviews on those.  I also got an E-reader and may have comments on that as well.  I hope that those that have stayed subscribed will continue to stay with me as I rebuild this site.  I hope other that have left return and then new people come and join us here as I set a new path.

Thank you for your understanding and I will keep you updated.

I am working on the next episode, I have most of it recorded just need to edit.  My plan is to have Chasing Shadows done by the end of October.  I am doing things differently with the next book, planning on having at least half records and edited before I launch sometime early in January.

This next book will bring Shadow Hunter to a close.  When it is done, my plan is to turn back to Buried in the Sand.  I am working on something different here and will be looking for a lot more input from you.  I hope you’ll be ready and willing to help out.  I’m hopefully going to have the ground work for that done by the end of October as well.

Thank for sticking with me through my inconsistent release of Chasing Shadows.  I am working to make sure that Shadows Fall does not suffer the same pain.

Shadow of a Hero the first novel that I ever completed. It is currently sitting around 70,000 words so it is still a little short and needs a lot of work. Shadow of a Hero as the title might imply takes place in the same world as Shadow Hunter but involves a different set of main characters, although some familiar characters are in this book. One of the thoughts I had when I first started Podcasting Shadow Hunter was as a build up for hopefully getting Shadow of a Hero published. It made sense that those who had follow Shadow Hunter might be interested in seeing what came next.

The fact is that currently Shadow of a Hero is far from ready. In writing Shadow Hunter I filled in a lot of back ground story and actually changes a few things, some major things. I do believe that Shadow of a Hero will benefit from not only the new back story but the experiences I have gain over the past several years and books.

The reason I like the idea of editing Shadow of a Hero rather than starting my new novel is that the new novel is a Sci-fi and not a Fantasy. The new novel will stand out as my only Sci-fi and I although I still believe in the story might not be the best choice for my first published book.

As for Never Was, I have realized that I have a short story that is completed, written and edited, that I have not read for you. My plan is to record that story and post it, hopefully within the week.

Thanks for holding on while I struggle to get Chasing Shadows completed.

I hope to be announcing a release date for “Buried in the Sand” within the next week, once I hear back from the other podcasters.

Once I start “Buried in the Sand” I will focus my effort onto “Chasing Shadows” in hopes that it will be ready to podcast when “Buried in the Sand” finishes. In my current plan “Buries in the Sand” should run 13 episodes.

Normally I would post a poll in the forum but, I wanted to ensure I got as much feed back as possible and make it as easy as possible. So I have posted the poll below. Please select the option or options (you can vote for more than one) that you would prefer.

Anyway, I’ll talk to you soon and as always thank you for listening.
