Isn't web volatility fun?  I mean, think of all the chaos that brings, right?  By the way, I'm joking.  I only started things out that way as a sort of tongue in cheek at all of the crazy changes that have been going on across the web lately, some of which was precipitated by Facebook's own stupidity and censorship of late.  What's strange to me is that, despite the gestapo like attitude of Facebook, not as many people are leaving as I thought.  I guess the term "Facebook Crack" is pretty spot on accurate as nobody wants to leave for fear of having nobody else on the other end when they get to their new location.  Hey, change happens, people.  Get used to it.

Even so, all of this upheaval lately has caused me to make numerous adjustments in what I'm doing online, some for the better, and some not so much.  The latter is more the fallout from some of the things I've done just to keep in touch with my readers, and some with my fans as well, what few there are. :(  But anyhow, I've gone ahead and shut down the forums, if you haven't already noticed, and in turn added MeWe social network to the mix.  You can find the link to that in my "About Me" section or on the front page.  I'm over there mostly because I actually like the place (way better than Facebook, btw, even if it is new and a tad rough around the edges) and because some of my friends are moving there.

And will there be other changes going forward?  I think there will.  At least for another year or two, as I see Facebook's influence slowly dying, with others taking over in turn.  It also means that, as much as I'd like to, I'm probably gonna be stuck at Facebook a while longer, much to my chagrin.  I'm not sure how much longer, but I'm hoping that it won't be too long.  Anyways, I just wanted to give all of you that update.  I also wanted to let you know that I'm still working on my books and will likely be floating around between different novels as I have the inspiration to work on them, or in some cases the energy, as work has really worn me down.

Anyhow, stay tuned.  I plan to try and stay relatively active online to keep all of you up to speed on everything that's happening around here, and trust me, it's a lot. ^_^  Also, even though Offworld Chronicles 4 is stalled right now, I'm still picking at it hoping to get it sorted out soon so that I can get back to finishing up book 3 with a goal of releasing it by August.  Whether that'll happen remains to be seen, but we'll see. ;)  Either way, if I don't, I might have some other things redone and released by then, so stay tuned. :D
