Finding a path is hard most of the time.

There has been a lot of soul searching going as the countdown continues until my career in the financial sector is going to end. A 15 yr career built on my growing love for data analytics and thinking outside the box.

Though I'm interviewing for similar positions, I feel lost at sea. I have started to explore other fields and who knows what path I may end on.

This goes for my writing side as well.

For a few years, I was plugging away at writing as novel. Though I was writing, I felt lost. Then I found GLAHW, where I took a chance on a new path. Switched from a novel to short stories. It did help, getting me published 8 times and counting.

It helped build up my confidence , Led me to creating my short story collection, "Endless Level of Horror". Will be sharing the cover later this month. Be sure to keep an eye out on Social accounts or Patreon.

I may need adjust the editorial side. It is strictly on me as I had been all over the place with writing during the past year.

Plugging away at the 2026 Reading challenge, and found a few more interesting reads. "House of Bone and Rain" by Gabino Iglesias and "The Hunt" by Amanda Ruzsa were the highlights. Lastly but not least, working my way through "We've Already Gone To Far" by M.J. Mars.

When it comes to ingesting entertainment, my wife and I recently found the Interview With A Vampire series. She is a big fan of Anne Rice so we hoped in. Enjoyed the revised take on it and love the setting in New Orleans. We have some watching to do so we can catch up to Season 3.

Also, looking forward to X-Men '97 Season 2. The animated series looks to be back and even better this time around. Here is to hoping someone makes a surprise return.

As always, make sure you keep all your limbs over the Fourth and keep reading horror.
