Well! My 6 months of hiking in the woods has been derailed utterly by the current global heatlh pandemic. Devastated, but healthy and home now and things could be a lot worse, and are worse for many others.

The first 110 miles before the lockdown were epic, high desert, snow, rain, hail, mountains, howling wind and endless climbs. It was wonderful. Bluejays & marmots, clifftop views for a hundred miles of desert.

For now, I am back. This means instead of a hiatus on the GAUNTLET project, I’ll be spending the summer pitching it around, maybe some final edits for the lastfew tweaks I want to make. I’m also going to try and jump in with two feet to the short fiction scene again as a palate cleanser, and am begining to mull over what the right follow up project to GAUNTLET might be.
Stay safe x
