Writing
As yet untitled
Your attention please I have begun writing the third Immortal book. It has no title yet, so let’s just called it Immortal 3. Either that or The Search for Spock, but I think that’s been used. As an aside, I have some kind of tendon damage in the index finger of my right hand, and it’s…
