Glad to hear you're mobile, Bill. Take it easy and hope you're home soon.

Hi Randall,

I would be thrilled to receive your help. You've done exactly what I'm trying to do! I'll connect with you and will check in and update you on my progress in the next 2-3 months. The move sounds super stressful but also exiting. Hope you enjoy the transition.

And Dirk, thanks again for the major help. I don't really have any social media following for my poetry. None to be honest, as far as the platforms that matter go, like Instagram. Again, I'm realizing my project might be shifting into something I hadn't anticipated, but it seems like a fun journey. And I have friends to go through it with!

Regarding social media though, wouldn't I need to only post stuff that won't be in my book? You were saying presses don't publish content that's already freely available.

Many thanks and just accepted your friend request.

I can help with self-publishing as I did my wife's poetry book in 2021. However, I won't be able to do it until at least July as we're in the middle of a major international move and won't have time until we've completed our transition.

Did you find a place?

Yes, in Greer, SC.  It was just what Sylvia and I wanted.

Hi everyone,

I've been off the site for almost four weeks as Sylvia and I were on a house-hunting trip to South Carolina and didn't have much internet access. We're back in Scotland now and I'll catch up on all the reviews I've received and provide reviews in response.

Thanks and regards, Randall

Many thanks for organizing, Dirk. Great job!

Hi, Sol,

Hi Sol,

I paid for another year for the premium service so I could get back on TNBW right away. My last upgrade was in June 2023, so if you could add eight more months to my account that'd be great and it'd take me into spring 2025.

When my account was restored, I had about 150 more points than before the crash because of recent postings. I'll need to re-post A Cruel Twist, Demise, and Temples of Abydos. I used the extra points to re-post the first 14 chapters of Mission: Yemen, so if I could get another 75 points I should be good to go.

Many thanks, Randy

Many congrats, Casper!

Just checked and the question marks are only where I put them.

Will be doing that soon. I had an updated profile saved to my hard drive, so I used it to update my TNBW profile.

With Sol needing to use the file from 2021, I now have plenty of points again so I'm reposting all of the chapters for Mission: Yemen as I lost about 30 reviews. Hopefully, some of the reviewers will come back for another look.

Regards, Randall

Hi everyone,

I'm starting to re-post the first 14 chapters of Mission: Yemen that disappeared before I begin posting any new ones. Since I lost everyone's reviews, if you're interested in taking another look I'd be very appreciative and will reciprocate.

Best regards, Randall

I've also noticed everything I had added in the past two years to my profile has disappeared as have four of my books on the bookshelf. Two of the books I deleted from receiving reviews are back, even though they're published so reviews aren't needed: Revenge and Ultimate Escalation.

Meanwhile everything associated (including posted reviews) with the chapters I posted on Mission: Yemen, Temples of Abydos, A Cruel Twist, and Demise have vanished. Sigh!

Doing the same now. According to the profiles of several who I don't recognize they were last seen on TNBW in 2019 or 2020. They're all being removed.

I paid again today (my premium membership was renewed in June) as it was the only way I could see anything.

Sol, a writer named steve.jeff sent me a connection request because he wants to have business-oriented communications with me. Naturally, I declined.

Must be something in the water today.

I received one from steve.jeff saying congratulations. Just deleted it without responding or connecting.

I recently published a collection of Short Stories called "The Healing Road Chronicles. It's available on Amazon as of Today. Many thanks to Bill, M.J., and others out here who've reviewed my work and encouraged to keep at it.

Don

Couldn't find it on the first 4 pages when I pasted The Healing Road Chronicles in Amazon's book search box.

MT

Couldn't find it trying the same thing MT did. Not sure why. However, I looked under Don's book shelf under his profile and found the link:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08Z45KBMN

I tried again and found it under the title, The Healing Road: A Mind Cleansing Journey.
