I know this because my drop-dead-gorgeous niece oversees Oliveve’s manufacturing partner and she’s the one making the masks for Oliveve as well as designing their handbags. That source, Oliveve Handbags, offers masks in a variety of colours and styles. I am happy to report there is one source with a short turn-around time. The simple ‘procedure mask’ is difficult to find, all quantities being routed to First Responders. Some have delivery dates of over a month away. The fact is, I’ve found it hard to find a good mask or any masks at all for that matter. Masks, Masques, Masks: Well, it’s not Poe’s Masque of the Red Death but in some respects, we’re watching a modern interpretation of the story right before our very eyes. Maybe that update wasn’t really coming but just breathing hard. The years have come, and the years have gone but no big update. The other complaint is that Scrivener has been promising a big update for years. I did that cycle a few times and hosed a bunch of chapters. Once I’ve made the corrections suggested by Pro Writing Aid, I must then import that document back into Scrivener if I am to do anything with it there. The two products don’t really know about each other, so I have to export to a MS Worddocument an then run the tools In Pro Writing Aid against the document. The first was interfacing with Pro Writing Aid. It was not bad, but I had two complaints about it. I was looking for something better and gave Scrivener a try. Urban Mermaid was written using plain old Microsoft Word. New Writing Softwareįinally, I will be using Papyrus Author to cobble Book # 3. Hailey is my favourite character from Pete Tarsi’s books and this is my (flawed) way of saying ‘Thank you’. Other than her name and one or two brief references to her life in in that other universe, she’ll be a stand-alone character. Getting back to Life on Colony Island, the character is Hailey from Pete Tarsi’s Flipping the Scales series. I won’t say just who that author is but I can reveal that she is Australian.
One of those authors even has a walk-on in Syrena. In Urban Mermaid and Syrena, I’ve included a number of salutes to some of my favourite mer-authors. Other than the name and a few background bits, this is going to be Character 2.0 or the character from an alternate universe. This is the first I’ll be incorporating another author’s character into one of my stories. I have to give those two some time off in the third book.) A New Character As I’ve mentioned before, Penelope and Peter will make an occasional appearance, but will not be main characters.
The book, Life on Colony Island, will consist of three or four interwoven short stories. The words are precious few at the moment, but I’m damned proud of every one of them. Alright, a few of you may be delighted to learn that the first words of the third book in the Tales From Colony Island series have been transcribed into bits and bytes.
