CM Simpson: Writer & Gamer

Week 3 of November rolled on, and I missed my family, but that’s the problem with living so far away from everyone. We enjoyed their company while they were here, and then we went back to work. For me, that meant realising I really had to get November’s second release up and running. As with October, I already had the month’s first release out there, but the second to be edited, formatted and uploaded—and it needed a cover. By the end of the week, I had the cover and the first round of edits done, and was working my way through the print-on-demand edit and format. I also had a vague idea of where I was going, although I felt very tentative about it, because it was a path I hadn’t been able to pursue full-time, before. Last week’s progress looked like this: Progress for Week 3, November 2017 New words produced: 16,770 Outlines and Notes: 1,280 Works completed: Nil Works edited: 1 ( Wheelchair Mermaid ) Covers created: 1 ( Wheelchair Mermaid ) Works published: Ni...

Wheelchair Mermaid is now out on Smashwords , Amazon , and DriveThruFiction , as well as being distributed via Draft2Digital. It will also be available in paperback shortly, and that is being distributed via CreateSpace, so yay! All Stacey wants is a morning on the beach—okay, and maybe to surf again. Like that’s ever going to happen, but a morning on the beach, on her own, as close to the waves as she’ll ever get, again, will do. It’s just that when something swims under the jetty, and a speedboat full of dangerous-looking men arrives on the beach shortly after, she has to do something. Right? Wheelchair or not, right? And that’s when life really starts to get interesting… Wheelchair Mermaid is the fourth book in the Wheelchair Adventures series, which is based around young people getting their wheels underneath them, after they find themselves in wheelchairs.
