So I posted the hardcover, and I realized too late that I had somehow missed the “h” in Elizabeth. So the title is “Elizabet: Heritage Journey: A series Collection.” Amazon won’t let me change it in KDP or Author Central. The only way I can change it is to unpublish it and try again. After…
I’ve had ChatGPT play CLOSAT. If you never heard of CLOSAT (acronym for Character, Location, Object (of contention) Situation (triggering) Action, Theme), it’s a game that could help encourage writing, especially if you are struggling to come up with any new ideas. You can check out my first post on the game here. A few…
I finally finished the edits to “The Gathering.” My daughter is currently working on the cover, and I’m taking a couple of days off before rereading it to do another slew of minor edits before formatting it. Remember when a week seemed like forever? We are already at the end of the first month of…

Wιɳƚҽɾʂ (@UKHamlet) October 17, 2022 A while back on Facebook, someone else has also posted these rules, and I…
Elizabeth: Transformation for Amazon Kindle is free for only three more days: Today (Wednesday, September 28th), tomorrow (9/29), and Friday (9/30). Your last chance (at least until the next quarter).
Pictured: The next series that comes after Elizabeth – in the bare bones, generalized plotting stages. No real editing except for spelling errors. It’ll be a couple of months before I start the actual stories. I also realized that I’m using the wrong outline. EvaDeverell’s outline (in the picture) works well for fantasy (I’m using…
