Today, I've uploaded a new novel called Amongst the Conflicted.  It deals with one of the most significant issues challenging our youth today, bullying, both cyber and shaming. Although it's a work of fiction, many will notice similarities to both when you went to school or if you are still going. I try to downplay the seriousness of this issue; some of the scenes were difficult to write, as it relates to people I've known. The book is first and foremost a love story, showing the depth of human emotions and how we see ourselves compared to how others see us. I hope you'll enjoy the book; there were many tears and frustrating moments in completing it.

So, for those have been asking about the next instalment of the Enchantment series I've given you a little taste of Book 5. As many know I like to have the complete book finished before I publish, but it's been a while since I've updated the series so I'm giving you a teaser. Enjoy, Andy.

I find it very refreshing to be able to break away from creating novels to write short stories, I've written one for the Boneyard Squad series (The Ghosts of the Past) and am very proud of how it turned out. Give it a try and tell me what you think. I know it's written for kids but maybe there is someone in your life that may. Thanks, Andy.

I wanted to thank all that have made my year very special indeed. The great responses related to my novels has been overwhelming, thank you. Others have asked me why I wait so long to put chapters online, the long and the short of it is I continue to change and update my work as I go. I believe it must be the best that I can make it before I do. I write in word with my app Grammarly right by my side. If others used the service, they could see how important it is to know the proper way to write. I'm not a perfect writer by any means, but I do believe my writing should be correct and I like to know it is. My first drafts are usually unedited getting across the story I want, then comes the editing. I write everything in Word and not on site (sorry Wattpad) Not every day do I have internet, but every day I write for at least an hour. If you do not see updates, it doesn't mean I'm not writing. Thanks again for all that read my stories. See you in the funny papers.

It's been a long road of writing and editing, but I can honestly say my fourth novel (The Key of Mulastef) in my Enchantment series is finished. To all that write putting heart and soul into your work, you and I have that same feeling of accomplishment when it all comes together. You can look back at something special and say a good job. I'm going to take a few days to get my thoughts together and maybe write another short story. To those that have continued to read my work, I wouldn't work so hard if it wasn't for you. Enjoy!
