Timely Persuasion<\/em><\/a> was released on 2\/29\/08<\/a>, making today the book’s third or twelfth birthday depending on how you count. (Leap year day was chosen intentionally due to it being kinda-sorta-not-really time travel-ly and so I wouldn’t have to celebrate anniversaries all that often…) What have I been up to since then?<\/p>\n Re-launched TP under the JL Civi<\/a> pen name, plus finally started serializing that jury duty book<\/a>:<\/p>\n Wrote a few drafts of a new novel, codenamed “LX” for now until I figure out a couple of permissions issues. (Like JL CIVI, it looks like a roman numeral but it’s not. Or is it…?)<\/p>\n And later this year, look for some exciting news about the Timely Persuasion<\/em> audiobook with an absolutely perfect person narrating it.<\/p>\n In the meantime, this blog revival will begin with a new set of chapter by chapter commentaries<\/a> from my older self who has been rereading. In the words of the Fun Lovin’ Criminals<\/a>: “In the end my friend, 20\/20 is hindsight.”<\/p>\n Anyways, it’s good to be back!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello, friends.
