The End of an Era

 

Old Typewriter
All Good Things Must Come to an End

After eight years as writers and over 180 published works, Jo and I have decided to shelve our fiction writing efforts so that we can concentrate on a new project. We have a few things still in the pipeline that may or may not be published. For now, the writing and publishing of fiction and the recording of audiobook editions of some of my works are on indefinite hold for the foreseeable future. It was a good run while it lasted.
