As many of you know, Southern California is currently experiencing a tropical storm. So far where I am the rain is steady but nothing that I haven’t experienced before as far as the severity goes. I think the largest obstacle in our area is the warmer weather so it is kind of humid. In a lot of ways, it is like being in Hawai’i.
Mind you, there are other spots in California that are under severe flooding so if you are in one of those areas please stay safe. Also, I just got a message from one of my friends up in Ventura that there was an earthquake. Now, all we need is a mudslide because we already had a wildfire and we will have pretty much taken care of all of the elements.
Just stay safe.
I am slowly but surely hacking away at my manuscript which while it is going slowly for me at least I am able to get words down. That has been the hardest thing to overcome with all of this is the surgical fog. My doctor and I actually spoke about this in our last call because coming out of the surgery was really rough compared to the others and she just thinks my body has finally said; I am done with this shit. I am going to fall apart for a little bit.
So been able to get words down is good.
The cat in the photo at top is Gojira who is the chunky one a bunch. While I have been reassured by the vet that she is an okay size, I swear to God she just gets bigger and bigger. Harley and Badger are doing well, although Badger has become extremely needy and wants to be held a lot.
There has been a lot of contribution and factors that has made it possible for me to attend GRL this year. I am better than I was last year but I still am definitely not even 80% yet but I will do my best. One thing I am really excited to see is the illustrated hardcover of Wolf at First Sight and I was lucky enough to be sent a picture of my hanai puppy, Zoey, doing a Price Is Right model of the book for me. She is a very good girl.
That is all I have for updates because the wind is picking up a little bit but not so much that it’s alarming. Hopefully everything will stay calm and once again, if you are in this weather, please stay safe.

Perhaps Gajira has a bit of one of these large breed cats. https://www.thesprucepets.com/largest-domesticated-cats-4843236
She’s a rescue chonker who was a LOT smaller when she first came home!
Thanks for the update…
Please get well soon! I’m glad you’re writing and can’t wait for anything you can publish in paperback! Can’t wait for Wolf At First Sight!
Speaking of paperback… It would be so great if you could put together a paperback book of stories you’ve written only published electronically.
Such as:
Once Upon A Wolf
Detroit Kiss
Clockwork Tangerine
Cops and Comix
Tutus and Tinsel
Cause I don’t read anything electronically. I like to turn real pages… lol.
Or, even if you could have these above stories available in pdf form, I could then print them myself to read.
Respectfully,
Michael
I think a PDF is one of the download options at dreamspinnerpress.com
Or at least it used to be. Try the publisher’s site and let me know. I think some of those are on sale now as well!
No… none of the stories I mentioned earlier Detroit Kiss, Cops and Comix, Clockwork Tangerine, Tutus and Tinsel or Once Upon A Wolf, are available in paperback or pdf on either Dreamspinner nor Amazon, and no pdf’s are available for them either.
Also, I found that I don’t have Dirty Bites nor Devils Brew , neither of which are available in paperback or pdf. and I would want them as well.
Let me know if you can get me the pdf’s for them. It would be great if I could print them to read.
Sincerely,
Michael
Hello! Yes, if you purchase an ebook of wat you’re looking for, one of the download items IS a PDF.
All of my Englis books are listed here: https://www.dreamspinnerpress.com/books/searchresults?genre=0&q=rhys+ford&sort_by=rank&x=1&subtype=0&language=41
The PDF download is the Red File icon. 😀 Hope that helps
Thank you so much for the info about how to download your novellas not printed in paperback in a PDF form from Dreamspinner Press.
I just purchased 8 of your novellas that I was never able to get in paperback and downloaded them all in pdf form. Now, I can just print them and read them in my own printed paperback form.
Thanks again
I am so glad you were able to find what you wanted! Hugs!
Hi! I don’t have PDFs of them but I thought if purchased as a ebook, a PDF was one of the options for download. You’ll have to email office@dreamspinnerpress DOT com and see what they can do 😦 They should be able to assist! xoxo
Hi Rhys
Great news that you’re able to do some writing again, I can’t imagine how tough it is to undergo surgery after surgery. I admire your strength!
Good luck and all the best. I’m looking forward to your next book 🙂
