But! I have been writing and doing things related to writing just &#8230; not the updating the webpage part. Which I am now fixing. So what <em>have<\/em> I been doing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Working on the final book of Red Wolf series, <em>Red Wolf: Defender<\/em>. About half way written, and mostly plotted. Now we see if the author can get things done in time for the editor this year. I have great hopes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Speaking of Red Wolf &#8230; and speaking &#8230; I have been experimenting with the AI voice generator at Eleven Labs. You can create your own narrator voice to spec! I have the first segment of <em>Red Wolf: Exile<\/em> completed and available as an audiobook at Spotify (<a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/1773zklpiWNfFgNVfbras6?si=7240d32001d145c7\">link<\/a>). Check out the free sample! Part 2 has been recorded but not uploaded yet, and the whole thing will be completed soon. Again the advantage here is I can get audiobooks out fast and affordable. The voice quality is amazing!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Working hard on promotion, including being better about the mailing list newsletter. A monthly tempo seems to work well for me. Try it out if you are curious! I am better at the newsletter than the website &#8230;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And yes, having fun with AI image generation. Hardly ever get three-armed barbarians now!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/chaseadventures.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/u5755619869_Realistic_digital_art_with_a_fantasy_flavor._a_my_22cd5ef4-f6b7-405f-842f-cee57bf60502_0.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/chaseadventures.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/u5755619869_Realistic_digital_art_with_a_fantasy_flavor._a_my_22cd5ef4-f6b7-405f-842f-cee57bf60502_0-683x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-642\" width=\"418\" height=\"635\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, well, it&#8217;s been a while.
