Computer issue update #3:
Success! Laptop was returned today with all files still saved on the hard drive. I’m going to back all of them up as soon as possible and continue writing.
While on my hiatus from "Cozmo", I dabbled in some poetry ideas. Nothing I’m ready to announce as a collection yet or advertise, just some stuff that got me thinking.
With all of my notes and edits intact, I should be able to seriously return to my novel soon. Stay tuned, and thanks for reading!

As always, thank you all for your support!
I have decided that I will release one poem every two weeks for the foreseeable future. With my deadline at June 11, 2016, that will leave 17 poems being released out of the complete 50 poems. That is quite a taste of what the whole collection will contain! I am continuously working on new poems, as my goal is to reach 50 poems total.
As usual, I am more than obliged and appreciative of any support or sharing of my eventual poem book! I currently have 1 pre-order, and I cannot express how ecstatic I was for at least one person wanting to read my collection of poems! At this point, imagining having 250, or even 750, that is if I do reach my goal, is an amazing thought.
I will continue to update you on my progress with writing, and any other updates that seem fit.
As always, thank you!
Computer issue update #2—
As it’s very unlikely I’ll get my computer back anytime soon, and even more unlikely its contents will be intact when it does arrive, I’ve begun writing once more on my much older and slower backup computer. I’ll also be taking the sound advice to keep all of my notes and chapters backed up to the cloud to avoid this issue in the future. Rewriting my pages of notes has forced me to think about the story, and I feel as though some of my rewrites are even more detailed and better than the originals. So in a way, some good came from this after all.
Anyway, I’ll soon be back to my old pace of a couple thousand words every few days. Look for Chapter 3 (hopefully) this weekend, as Ben Starr closes the gap between himself and Cassie even farther. All that stands between them are a mysterious set of directions and a calendar from the 1950’s.
Thank you all so much for your support! Regards,
