I’ve been waiting to make this announcement until I had contacted all of the shows first, but due to some health concerns that I need to address as soon as possible, I’m canceling my entire touring schedule for the rest of the year. I will still be finishing book three and hopefully launching it at the end of the summer, but I will not be attending any more conventions or festivals this year.
For my friends and family, this is nothing terminal, but it is fairly serious and needs to be dealt with immediately. As most of you know, the last 2-3 years have been extraordinarily stressful for me, and I believe the effects of that stress have manifested themselves in this manner. If I can get a handle on it now before it does get serious, it shouldn’t be anything to worry about long-term, but if I ignore it and pretend that everything is okay, it could get out of control quickly. If you know anything about me, you know how much I love traveling and attending conventions, so please know that this decision was not made lightly.
Like I said, I plan to finish book three and also to continue this blog. There are also plans to launch a web store sometime later this year, so keep watch for that. In short, don’t worry about me because I’ll be fine. I’m a fairly tough old bit of leather, and I’m taking the steps to correct what’s wrong. I will be okay and back on tour next year.
You’d better get better, or I’m going to feel bad about being too harsh on you during our early 2010 bouts! LOL Now get back to work on book 3!!!
Mopping up MidSouthCon with Zim Thunder took a lot out of me…
