I say this because I have a bunch of projects that I need to move on (edit Salvation #3, write Aurora #9, new drafts of several screenplays), but next month I have some very important meetings that will take prep & all my brain space, so I don’t want to start something I can’t finish before then.

This is the first weekend in ages that I’ve not been deep-diving in a novel edit all weekend. I’ve still been working on stuff but just bits and pieces with nice gaps in between. Of course I feel like I’m wasting time and must get back to some kind of deep-dive work. 😂

Today’s cinema viewing - Tron: Ares.

She also predicted the series would be picked up by a Sydney-based publisher. At the time, Darwin was on submission with a Melbourne-based publisher and I had no plans for others. Afterward I discovered a Sydney-based publisher I liked, submitted, and they picked it up. The psychic called it twice!

So, yeah, there’s going to be 2 more books. I can’t wrap it up in one. Book 9 will be the prelude to war, book 10 is the war.

Looks like that psychic I saw years ago predicted it right. Back then I was sure the Aurora series would only be 8 books, but she insisted it would be 10 books. #funfacts

Book titles normally come easy to me, but I’m struggling with the title for the penultimate Aurora book. Which is weird because I’ve had the name for the final book for years. Go figure.

Latest review of Paragon Of Faith And Other Stories - thanks to At Boundary’s Edge!

“…this novella is a great showcase of Bridgeman’s talents. There’s everything you could want. Sisters in mech suits. Crises of faith. Insidious cults. A whole lot of rather bloody violence, mayhem, and death.”

BOOK REVIEW: Paragon of Faith

Teaser The Sisters of Battle – the Adepta Sororitas – are the divine frontline of the Imperium. With faith and firepower, they will combat the forces of Chaos wherever it is encountered…

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”
