His wife is having a baby in a couple of weeks, and he needs to get things finished before his mother-in-law comes over. There have been a ton of setbacks and delays, mostly having to do with the shoddy construction work done by the guys who built the place, but we seem to have passed the biggest hurdle which is to install the bathtub. Now, it&#8217;s mostly a matter of installing insulation and putting up drywall.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KanCiSGxSKM\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nThere&#8217;s this really fantastic game that I&#8217;ve been looking at called Stellaris. It seems like a combination of Masters of Orion and Europa Universalis. Really really tempted to play it, but as of right now, I&#8217;m holding back. When I finish this WIP, though, I may just treat myself.<\/p>\n<p>Also, I recently signed up for a 30 day trial of Instafreebie, a site\u00a0that (among other things) lets authors do ebook giveaways in exchange for readers&#8217; email addresses. I&#8217;m running a giveaway for\u00a0<strong>Genesis Earth,<\/strong> which you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instafreebie.com\/free\/E38rA\">pick up here<\/a>\u00a0if you haven&#8217;t already gotten a copy. Depending on how things go, I may sign up and run a few more campaigns in the future.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m really, really itching to get back to work on\u00a0<strong>Gunslinger to the Stars.<\/strong> That will probably be the next full-length novel that I publish. In the meantime, I&#8217;ve got a bunch of short stories that should be coming out soon, starting with a Sad Puppies related piece that is sure to make a lot of people smile. Look for that one in June.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s pretty much it for now.
