I remember I had great plans, wonderful energy. Even walked a few days early in the month. The good ship foundered on a collection of misadventures, some of which I can share. Others, not so much.

Tanyth Audio Snafu
Chapter 12 in Hermit of Lammas Wood has chapter 15’s audio. Unfortunately chapter 15 is also chapter 15. I got the correct files from Artistic Whispers and corrected the uploads, but it’ll take a bit for them to work through the system. Sorry about that.
The Wizard’s Cat
This month is Camp Nanowrimo and I’m going to get this book off my desk. We’ll see how well that goes.
New Ishmael
Nothing to see. The three books are still sitting there, staring at me.
What Am I Reading?
I’m reading a lot. I went through a space opera series by Julia Huni early in the month and then a paranormal women’s fiction series by Kate Moseman. I tore through book 5 of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series by Matt Dinneman before moving on to finish (I think, it’s over) the Star Scavenger series by Ogden and Ogden. Fun pulpy space opera goodness there.
Right now I’m grinding through Carrie Summer’s Stonehaven League and loving every minute of it. It’s a great take on GameLit that postulates a kind of game where the goal isn’t to kill everything and take their loot. There’s still some of that but … well … I won’t spoiler it. Suffice it to say I’m enjoying the heck out of this world and the main character’s cognitive dissonance between real and virtual. I’m into book 4 now, but the story starts with Temple of Sorrows.
Maybe grab a sample – and buckle up. It’s fun ride but keep your hands inside the vehicle at all times.
Last Words
April is going to be a challenging month, I’m not going to lie. Doctors are involved, and not the PhD kind. It’s going to be one heck of a distraction but maybe it’ll be the incentive I need to get these books off my desk and into your hands.
Fingers crossed.
Safe voyage.
Thanks for sharing your updates, and I wish you well with everything you’re dealing with!
Nathan.
Hope you are well. Wishing you the best of luck in health and writing
We believe in you Sar!!
I check back here often for updates because I can’t wait for what’s coming next, however it sounds like the books can wait (oh god, why did I say that?).
Focus on you first and foremost. Sending love.
Best wishes for you sir, and your loved ones, as best as applicable. While I’m of course waiting for your books (re-listening to the whole “Clippers” series), it’s best for you to prioritize your own well being.
While waiting for your new material I started re-reading all of your published stories, starting with your Solar Clipper series. I must say, you are a master storyteller. I’m happy to wait for the fullness. Take care and know your audience is patient.
I hope that April is going better than expected.
Sending you and yours well wishes – and hugs! Take care of the doctor stuff, and your health. We will wait.
Best wishes on the health problems. I hope it doesn’t get much worse and gets better soon.
Fingers crossed for regained health. Take care, Nathan! Take care of yourself before trying to get words out for us. While your words are very important, you are more important.

You’ve got this. Maybe it’s time to take a stroll through the ship and take in your positive crew reviews on Amazon to get a feel for what’s next? Ishmael has been keeping this first mate encouraged while she embarks on an arduous interview process for a promotion while Pip has been the model of optimistic example where her journey towards buying her first house has been getting rolling on earnest. You’re doing good, Sar!
Mr. Lowell,
After many, many years my iPod which I used for podcasts for almost a decade gave up the ghost, and I’ve been forced to join the 21st century of podcast apps on phones. The share series was of course one of the first downloads, and so I was once again back in Ish’s world for another of many many trips while mowing today. I just wanted to take the chance to say thank you for that and all the enjoyment you’ve brought to my life, so thanks.
I’m ashamed to admit that I just came to the full realization that that uncle P and aunt Q is a play on minding your P’s and Q’s.
Hello Mr. Lowell,
I just wish to say that I have enjoyed your books immensely especially as they have the warmth of human endeavor and kindness laced throughout them. I am one of those people with about 7,000 books in my Kindle account but regularly go back and reread your books. I am also having an op. coming up next month that I am not looking forward to, but it may all go fine. You have left people with a warm glow after reading one of your books and that does not often happen. So do not worry about deadlines and take each day as it comes, a gift and a promise.
Take care now
Eagerly waiting for The Wizard’s Cat. Thank you for the stories!
