Book Two is almost ready &#8211; it will be published &#8216;Real Soon Now&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Plus I wrote a short story prequel to the <em>Light Blink<\/em> series, called <em>Pre-Blink<\/em>.

Plus writing and editing the stories. Plus a marketing plan for promoting the books. It turns out that writing a book is hard, but marketing those books are harder. All of the books are (or will be) available on Amazon. If you are a Kindle Unlimited user, they are free. There&#8217;s a paperback version of them also.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also been thinking about a Book Three for the <em>Light Blink<\/em> books. I&#8217;ve started it &#8211; there are about 10K words so far. Still early times for the story, and how it will turn out. So stay tuned for that.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also set up some new and updated FaceBook pages for the books &#8211; and the &#8220;Richard Hellewell&#8221; author page. There are links to the FB pages above. I&#8217;d appreciate it if all of my readers (yes, both of you) to check out the site and FB pages (and like\/share them).<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Digital Choke<\/em> story is one that I wrote back in 2002, and has been available as an ebook since then. It&#8217;s getting a slight re-write, and a bit of editing by an editor. Plus a new cover. The new version is not quite available yet, but will be &#8220;Real Soon Now&#8221;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been spending the past few months working on (and enhancing) the <em>Light Blink<\/em> book series.
