I am back


as you know my work is spread over a few books and I am currently working on a rewrite. I wanted to close a few plot holes and errors. It is a major undertaking and more work than I anticipated, but I am making progress. You can check out my wiki at : http://galnet.wikia.com/wiki/Galnet_Data_Base
All this took a backseat as I suffered a Stroke that paralyzed my right side.
The recent past has been filled with hospital time, surgery.Speech therapy and Physio . I am making good process and manage to type again. Very slow but I am getting better. Now that I am back home. I will continue to write .
New stories have been posted at https://www.fictionpress.com/~vanessaravencroft

And if you like my universe , do check out the Wiki, lots to see and read.

The Reboot

The Marvel Universe did it, DC did it, Batman did it and Superman..So I am rebooting my Universe as well.
The reason is, I have grown as a writer, mostly due to the many edits, comments and help from friends like John,Bill,Sam and others.
When I started Galactic Chronicles in 1993 it was a collection of handwritten Notebooks. Then I begun to tell the tale on Fiction Press Almost 10 years ago and added much to the tale. It was an organic growth and I wrote chapter by chapter rather than book by book and I fabricated some glaring Plot-holes, made tremendous typos and mind boggling errors.
At the beginning of this year my father died and I had to take care of my mother who took it hard. While this happened I was reading my own stuff and realized It needs fixing…serious fixing.
In March I got my first writing job..Getting paid for writing…(A new one fort me) but it was completely unrelated to the Galactic Chronicles. As of May I have started to rewrite the Galactic Chronicles… but this time I will post chapters ..only after I have completed the book. It will give me and my volunteer editors a chance to publish a more polished product. The reason for this is that I want to write new stories and not repeat the old ones, but I can't move forward until I know the rest is as close to perfect as I can make it.
Please note that this is a major undertaking and a volume of more than a million words. So please be patient…Galactic Chronicles will continue.


In the mean time you can go to the GalNet Wiki (it has grown to over 5000 Pages) and thanks to my new and dedicated friends Gnume, Sam and Knightrider it is quality checked and will give you hours of reading material in the meantime.


Yours

Sorry for the silence


Sorry for the silence

I had to deal with my mother who did not take the passing of my father well and it took all my time and energy over the last four weeks, but I am soon back to normal and new chapters and stories will follow.

My father died

Dear Readers and Friends

last week my father died and was laid to rest. While I was not particular close to him,I am in the process of helping my mother with the estate and coping with the loss.
So I am forced to slow down a little in terms of posting stories but I am not forgetting it and will continue to write as soon as I can (1-2 weeks max)
