It may be a little early to review 2022, but I’ve been looking over what I’ve accomplished and thinking ahead to what’s next.

Back in February, I shared a list of all the stories I planned to publish. I’ll reproduce it to save you from having to search or remember. 😀

February “To Haunt the Daring Place”

March “Titan Invictus”

April “Read-Only Ash”

May “Right, Wrong, and Amazing”

June “Eurydice Otherwise” (Hades Cycle 1)

July “Blood Falchion”

August “The Kite Climber”

September “Faerie Tithe”

October “The Smith and the Hermit”

Through September I’ve stuck with my plan. I’m rather amazed, because the summer was a sad and painful time for me. My beloved father was debilitated by a broken hip and passed away. Naturally most of my time and energy were devoted to him. But I discovered that continuing with writing and publishing gave me the strength I needed to support my father most fully, so I carried on with both.

I’m missing my father very much, but find that writing and publishing gives me strength to bear that as well.

As a consequence, I completed the thorough revision needed by the second story in The Hades Cycle. With the second story complete and ready to publish, there’s no need to wait until next year to publish the third (which has been ready for many months).

So the close of 2022 will be somewhat different than planned.

October Artemis in Chase (Hades Cycle 2)

November “Eurydice in Truth” (Hades Cycle 3)

December “The Smith and the Hermit”

Happy reading!
