Meets & Greets A lurker steps out of the shadows

I thought I should say a hello to you too, Don. I am here in just recent months, and I am an older writer too, I will be 70 in several years. I wanted to write much of my life, with ideas I would get, but it was difficult to really start and keep going with how I was managing with my time. Things changed greatly nearly a decade ago, with a serious diagnosis, such that if I did not take very good care of myself it was a real possibility I might not live a very long time anymore. But I did take care of myself, and I am staying home much more and write while there, now. I am not worsening as it might have been expected. I still will have vigorous walks that help me be in good condition. A few things I wrote were published, I have longer works that I would think of getting published.

Thanks for the comment. Glad to hear your health is doing well.
 
I have to really credit my well-being to good choices that I made, but cannot just speak about those without someone thinking I am pushing my choices on them, though I am careful not to say so. But they are such good choices, that would help any to do so well as they age, I wonder why they wouldn't, especially as I did, and though I had that diagnosis I was already finding out about these things I could do, and was more encouraged then, though not needing a doctor's direction to do such, while others apparently won't make any change without that, IF then. Well, maybe I can explain myself in direct personal communication.

The books in the series are:
Prequel: Christmas at Shadowlands' Edge
1. The Recanter's Tidal Pool
2. Until the Day Breaks
3. The Smoke of Their Torment

The prequel is character driven story of grief, destructive anger and hope through it all. But it establishes the dystopian world, the supernatural elements and introduces many of the main characters who appear throughout the rest of the books.

Christmas is always a fun place to start.. you know.. ALL the family gets together.
The character driven, world setting prequel is distanced enough to not be the first book? I don't know, I'm not a fiction writer. I'm curious, and by that, suggesting, I guess.
Welcome. You have a full life and many blessings. Sorry for your troubles. Live long and prosper in Christ!
