Hello, Crickets! Despite all indications to the contrary, I am in fact among the living, and I'm even moderately functional.

I've started working on a project that may be glorified fan fiction, or it may be a response to a call from the creators of a prospective TV series to help universe-build. Whatever the case, I'm having a fine time with it. For more information, please check out www.willyouhelp.co.uk. It's a fascinating story, and even if it "comes to nothing" in a professional sense, it's a good time, and a good way to reconnect with a good friend.

Elsewhere, my migraine issues seem to be in hand, and I'm once again able to concentrate for more than five minutes at a stretch. Concentration and focus are very important and useful skills for a writer.

I hope that any of you who are reading this blog are doing well, and that your various Cricketdoms are enjoying the summer. Take it easy. I'll be back before you know it.
