Not gonna lie, this is dangerous territory for us. My subconscious is a tripping hazard.

Good Morning, Y'all.
So, I apologize for the lack of communication as of late. Things have been particularly busy.

In the past handful of weeks, I started a new job, traveled for said new job, got sick from traveling for said new job, and have quite possibly coughed up a lung or two from being sick from traveling for said job.

*inhales deeply*

Having said all that, I realized that I have shirked my author duties long enough. It's time to get back to it and keep you informed of all the things that are floating around my subconscious - and the Friday stories.

Speaking of 'Story Time', Captain Morana and the Black Wake will be coming to an end in a few more installments. After that, I will be taking a break from the 'Story Time' newsletter for a couple of weeks while I get the next one ready.  But, rest assured, I will do what I can to make sure to keep you in the loop with the Wednesday 'Subconscious' emails - and, for those of you that subscribe to the Fiction Ignition emails, you should start to see those pick back up, again.

Next up, if you're either an aspiring author, or a person who loves to read, might I recommend you come to Akron Authors Con in September? We are in need of more authors to come out and be a part of the convention. Not to mention we'd love to have more attendees.

Lastly, a little more into my subconscious, when you have weird dreams about trying to buy things and your best friend advising against it - all while tempting and taunting you with the very object you want to buy - you tend to get mad at your friend for being the very thing that makes you their friend.

Look, don't ask. it was a weird dream and I have no reasonable explanation. 

Subconsciously Yours,
