I’ve been gone a crazy long time, yeah? There were a lot of health issues (including two near death experiences) followed by a bout of pretty serious depression.

Then one day I started to (horrendously) play piano again, then draw again, and finally write again. Mostly I’ve been revising my existing books and self-publishing them. So far I’ve got “One Good Hand,” “One Good Year,” and “Lone” up.

"Chains" has also just launched!

If you’d like some to pick up any of these stories, go to books2read.com/rowanmcbride, choose the story you want, and pick the retailer that suits you. Chains is free, but not available on Amazon, because Amazon's gotta Amazon, I guess.

As you've probably noticed, my domain name has changed. That's because it was stolen. Even though it was paid for. And now I'm being ghosted by my previous hosting company. But no no. These things happen (although no one seems to be able to tell me HOW), so I'm not in a rage or anything. OO

But rowanmcbride.rocks is kinda cool, yeah? I smile every time I see it. :)

More news! I’m saving up to buy some ISBNs. The publishing platform I use offers them for free, but of course there are catches. I figured owning mine would be much better for me in the long run. One Good Hand and One Good Year were listed as brand new books on Amazon. Last I checked they had no reviews, which makes me sad. When I publish Flow, I’d like it to have a longer shelf life.

Let’s see… email address ([email protected]) is the same, so feel free to contact me if you want to reconnect. Apparently I have a contact form and a "message me button" on this website (I didn't design it, so I'm still getting to know it). There's also [email protected], which I think I know how to access. heh.

Apparently you cannot subscribe to this blog (I know, right?), so drop by and visit from time to time, yeah? And if you want to know when new books are released, then follow me here.

Let’s see… I think that’s it for now. I did the cover for Flow already and will post it soon as well as some excerpts closer to my Grand ISBN Purchase. Also trying to decide which story to republish next. “Warm Rush” or “Want Me” maybe. Or "Paul's Dream." Paul's Dream was a pretty good one.

Whatever happens, 2025 should be fun...aside having my domain name stolen after faithfully paying its fees for 19 years. Ya know. Aside from that. ;)

Missed you guys.
