Just to stay that I am still alive and have taken a bit of a pause from WP whilst dealing with life. 
          	
          	I also want to say a huge thanks to all those who have stuck with me throughout my flaky episodes.
          	
          	Over the next few weeks I will be doing some restructuring of Heirs of Elysium as it’s not quite right. I then hope to get moving with the rest as there is some real action to come. 
          	
          	Hope you are well - I’m hopeful 2024 is going to be a good year

@Fairytale_Fabler - we have 2 summer holidays planned. The first is post exams and we are off to the Greek islands of Santorini and Ios as Pops has wanted to go there for years. Then later in the summer we have a 2 weeks in Croatia and Montenegro. I am lucky that I get generous holiday (30 days plus Christmas period).

@MayaR-31 We're all well. Thank you for asking! We're at the brink of transition. Our eldest is going to college in September, and there's a corporate merger hanging over us at the moment. It's all good news (we hope), but relocation might be something to consider. I'm open to it, honestly, but that's not universal in the household. Might have to wait until K2 graduates high school (in two years). Thanks to our Alaska endeavor, we decided to try the RV thing, and we're exploring the northeast as time permits. Can't go too far with vacation time being what it is. My dream to see the west will have to wait at least a summer or two. Are you doing anything fun and exciting in your time off?

@Fairytale_Fabler - I saw you were posting for ONC and knew that I would have to check it out. I love the idea of a cowboy romance.  
          	  The re-write is going well, I am much happier with it because I know how I want book 3 to end and how I can get there - the way I was heading the book would have been far too long. False starts are a danger of write as you go.
          	  How is your family doing? I have both kids about to go into exam period - so 2 months of intense work then we are going on a well deserved break

Latest update from Elysium, coming to you from Crete. Hope it’s ok, as half the island was plagued by a power cut for most of today, just adding to all my IT issues.
          
          Feeling very chill, listening to the sound of waves. Back to reality next week.

I have just finished the most difficult chapter ever. I lost my dad earlier this year and trying to tackle the subject of loss, I found that I just couldn’t write.
          
          Sorry for the long delay - I hope that I can get back on track now. I am excited to continue with the adventures in Elysium and I have the added incentive of being part of the Creators Programme.
          
          Hope you are all well and getting geared up for Christmas

Just over 2 weeks into our American road trip and I must admit I lost track of what day it is. It’s our last night in Oregon and  we are off to California tomorrow. 
          I have finally gotten a new chapter of Heirs out - Reign in Blood.  
          Mx

I am currently on a 3-week N. American Road trip with my family - starting in Vancouver and ending in San Francisco. 
          
          Like a magpie with bright shiny things, I have stolen the idea from @Fairytale_Fabler to post a travel blog. So if you want to see what I am up to or are interesting in taking a similar trip, check it out. The cover is awful (quick & dirty because I had app issues), but hopefully the insides will be much better and I will share some cool photos of the places we visit.

@Fairytale_Fabler - thanks Alicia. 
            Definitely want to hear the rest of your family’s Alaska adventure

Safe and happy travels! Hopefully you’ll find the energy and contemplative silence that I (for the most part) lacked. I still have to finish mine (a month later). 
            
            Thanks for the shout out! Maybe it’ll give me the push I need to wrap things up. Summer is always a challenge and this year has been particularly unworkable. In a good way, but still. I can feel its absence.

@EvelynHail - hope that you had a fab trip back to your homeland.
            We are currently in Whistler- normally a skiing resort. Going up the mountain later this morning.

Double update this weekend. Chapter 29 bring us to where I got to before I pulled the story and started again - from here on it will all be new stuff. Buckle up as the ride may get bumpy.
          
          On Thursday, I am flying out to Vancouver for a 3-week North America road trip. Very excited as it should be an adventure and I am so up for a decent holiday. I hope to be able to keep to a weekend update schedule and do some reading, wifi dependent.

Half a million milestone!
          I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has read my first story The Light of Elysium. When I first started posting, I never imagined that I would get this many views. It makes all the effort worth it. 
          
          I have almost completed Camp NaNo and am making good progress in planning out the rest of Heir’s of Elysium.

Had a productive weekend, despite watching Stranger Things, which was epic and The Summer I turned pretty, which is a perfect summer concoction.
          
          Chapter 24 is up - a nemesis from Elle’s past is plotting

@MayaR-31 that's awesome! I wish you all the best with your writing goals this year! and don't worry I also did takeout all weekend and watched Stranger Things and did nothing so you are still doing better than me ;)

@RowanCarver - well we did get take out rather than cooking. I have been really struggling with my writing for a while, but am currently in a really good headspace.

@MayaR-31 haha I admire you, I had a very unproductive weekend thanks to Stranger Things.

Who is excited about tomorrow? Stranger things part 4.2!  Trailer looks epic.
          
          I have posted chapter 23 early, as I may get quite distracted. 
          
          1 July also marks start of Camp NaNo - I am doing it and hope to make some progress with Heirs. Anyone else participating?
