I posted a little video update on FB the other day, and on a couple of the forums that I visit to let folks know where I’m at on Conquering Prehistoric.
To sum up my writing over the past few months, I wrote 16,000 words in November when my daughter was doing well. December a bit less, because work took more out of my PTO than expected… then in January I wrote 250 words, because she’s not doing well anymore.
As family comes first, the book is on the back burner. It’s probably 90% finished, and I’ve the rest of it already planned out in my head. I just need to find time and energy to work on it. And until my daughter is doing better, that’s going to be hard to find.
But we are meeting with some specialists next month to work out a protocol to help her. It will likely involve IVIG infusions and take a few months. As this illness ebbs and wanes, I expect I’ll get some more writing time in… this is just a really hard time right now. So don’t worry, the book will be finished… just not today.
(It’s taken me two days to get this much written for a blog post… I’m trying to speed through this before she needs me again.)
In other news, I got a cool shout out from Pro-Gun Millennial’s Blog.
West of Prehistoric by Erik Testerman – A great adventure novel set in the American West of the 1880’s except with dinosaurs and barbaric ape men. The premise is a lot of fun, the characters are great, and the action scenes were brutal. I can’t wait to get into the rest of the series. Also, apparently the author is a fan of us here at PGM. So on the off chance you’re reading this: Great book! 10/10
Groovy.
🙂
And as always, if you’ve read my books or listened to them on audible, please leave a review. It really helps sell more books, and the more books I sell the more likely I am to keep this side gig going. And tell your friends. Gift them copies. Be that guy(or gal!) that doesn’t shut up about how great cowboys and dinosaurs are and that you know this author who did this book thing that was awesome…
Til next time!
Erik.
Gunpowder and Ink! 
Your family is in my prayers.
