Has Anyone Seen My Muse?

Muse: one of the nine inspirational goddesses of literature, science, and the arts in Greek mythology.

If any of you have watched the movie Xanadu, Olivia Newton-John played a muse named Kira (Terpsichore, the Muse of Dance) who inspired Gene Kelly's character (Danny McGuire) back in the 1940s) and Michael Beck's character (Sonny Malone) in 1980. Hopefully, she helped others before the 1940s and in the years between then and the 1980s.

There was a time when I began putting my stories together for e-publication when my muse must have been hanging around night and day. The ideas and words flowed like a raging river.

Lately, I think she may be busy helping others and only drops by from time to time. I haven't done much writing in the last two weeks (or advertising for that matter). Then yesterday, I wrote 4 1/2 pages of new material for the sequel to Death Haunts the Stars. And, I feel like I've got a couple/few more pages in me today!

Well, we'll see...

Sales and Kindle Reads have dropped slightly on the existing books. I guess the half of the population that would agree with my stories are now extremely happy and those who wouldn't agree with them are suffering mind numbing depression over recent events. (Not that they would buy my books anyway!)

I've put together a script for my first videos for my Amazon Authors Page and for my Facebook Authors page. Just waiting for a nice day to shoot them outside. Tuesday's forecast looks good!

My current novels can be purchased as e-books at my Amazon Authors Page at www.amazon.com/author/jeffreyfortney. Don't forget, if you have a Kindle Unlimited subscription, you can download and read my books as part of that subscription.

Spring is not quite here yet. It's been warm enough in Oklahoma that the Red Cedars and Bradford Pear trees are blooming. Have I mentioned that I'm deathly allergic to the Red Cedars and none too fond of the Bradford Pears? This year, my allergies resulted in an upper respiratory infection. Yuck! But I'm finally on the mend. Now the weather is turning cold again. Hopefully, I won't get a cold...

That's enough for now. Stay safe out there!
