And Now For A Short (Quick) Word...

To make a long story short: I lost my younger brother in end-of-February following a two year-and-a-half-long fight with cancer. 😢

 

After losing my mother in 2010 and my father in 2020, both also to cancer, this constituted a third-in-a-row, brutal blow to my heart... 😟

 

All this to say: this is the single, foremost reason why writing Psiarch: The Reckoning has been so slow, so difficult, so snail's-paced; heck, I even stopped writing outright at some point. Creativity has this quirk of going on strike or drying up when emotions are disrupted by worries, sadness, and then heartbreak... 😕

 

But... I'm moving forward now. Creative juices are stirring once again. I even got hit with an inspiration for a previously-unseen direction for the Psiarch Chronicles which will definitely lead to a solid 4 books (instead of the initially planned three) for the cycle. Mind you, this will require some (lots!) rewriting of what I've done so far for Psiarch: Reckoning, and this means the book won't be ready for beta reading until fall 2027 at least, but no matter - in this case, the end truly justifies the means. Trust me on this. 😉

 

So in the meantime, let's keep on rockin', eh?

 

And have a good one, everybody - see you until the next update or post here, at Psiarch's Hideout! 😎👍

Quick Psiarch: Reckoning Update + Sad News About Psiarch: Rising Goodreads Reviews

I almost completed the second chapter of Part II of Psiarch: Reckoning (i.e. that's almost 12 chapters done total, out of a projected 30 or so). I know things are/have been progressing very slowly over these past months (for various personal/family reasons I'd rather not go into at this time), but at least they are/have been going surely nonetheless. 😔

 

On another subject, I found out the number of Goodreads reviews for Psiarch: Rising dropped from 16 to 13, resulting in a drop from 4.5/5 stars to 4.23/5 stars in the overall rating of the book. It is what it is, I suppose... 😕

 

In any event, I'm just thankful the overall ratings still remain at/above the 4/5 stars score 😅.

 

Keep on rockin' regardless, eh? 👍

 

 

 

P.S. In case you haven't yet, go grab your copy of Psiarch: Rising from one of the outlets listed here.

More Psiarch: Rising Reviews And Progress Update On Psiarch: Reckoning

Chapter 7 and 8 of Psiarch: Reckoning (Book Two of The Psiarch Chronicles) are done and Chapter 9 is about 1/4 on the way, leaving one more chapter to finish Part 1 of the book (at least, as planned so far... but this might change once the manuscript is finished and rewriting goes over this again). 😎

Also, there are several new reviews for Psiarch: Rising (Book One of The Psiarch Chronicles) on Goodreads! A few excerpts:

- I enjoyed this book! It is a good sci-fi plot with elements of actions and romance mixed throughout to keep readers engaged.

- I just couldn't find myself putting the book down.

- I must start by saying that I am not very fond of this genre of books, however, this is a success and I was very pleased to read it. For science fiction readers and those of us who like the MCU, this book will undoubtedly hook us.

- I'd say it's an epic treat for sci-fi fans, or if you're looking for something to sink your bookish teeth into. The author has created a unique world for readers, and brings the characters to life within it, with clever and subtle imagery.

- I absolutely loved the narrative of this book!

Read the rest/whole of them over there. 

So, until next time... keep on rockin', eh? 😎👍
