And We're Back!

I don't know about any other first-time authors out there . . . but this summer took a lot out of me (you'll notice I sort of let this site gather cobwebs between July and September -- oopsie). Between job hunting, packing, moving, unpacking, and essentially dismantling and re-mantling my life, I've barely had time to write the past few months, much less promote Into the Known Universe. I'm ashamed to say that I even completely forgot about my September 1st newsletter (to be fair to be . . . I was in a moving truck for most of that weekend). 

In any event, I apologize to anyone who came to this site hoping for regular content. I'd have done better, but you know, fatigue.

Anyway, now that I'm settled in my new place and no longer living out of boxes, I'm pleased to report that the ol' creative juices are beginning to flow once more. I've been working on a few short stories that tie indirectly into the book, the first of which I released back in August, and the second I'll be sending out with my October newsletter. 

The first short story, in case anyone missed it, was very well received by those who read it, and the feedback was encouraging. I'm hopeful this second story, a festive little tale of espionage and counterespionage set in an Incorporated Intelligence citadel, will be equally well received. 

I'm hoping to maintain this blog a little better going forward, but if you're wanting more consistent writing and promotions updates, follow me on Instagram at @jamesrdhilton. 

And if you're intrigued by that short story, sign up for my newsletter on the way out (and don't forget to opt in!).
