It’s true, I haven’t published anything since Bart’s Inferno wayyyy back in May 2019.
That said ...
In July 2019, I was diagnosed with cancer (I’m okay - finished my five year observation window in Jan. 2025 and have since been declared cured). I’ll talk more about this adventure at another point, but getting cancer did throw a wrench into a lot of plans. I’d initially hoped to write during treatment, but you try writing while chemo leaves your brain punch drunk.
I still have brain fog from chemo, which hasn’t helped things either.
Two weeks after I was declared in remission, the apocalypse hit. As I was still coming to grips with cancer, writing was not close to mind during this time.
Throw in a bad marriage that turned into a worse divorce, family health issues, and life in general, I’ve finally taken the long road back to writing silly stuff.

Long story short, I failed to pay the registration fee one year and it become too complicated to retrieve. Besides, I prefer Novels by Ryan.

Great! Keep it to yourself and write it yourself. It’s not that I don’t want to hear about your idea, but it would leave me open to potential litigation if I wound up using that idea or a similar one. Same with reading a manuscript. Not that I would knowingly steal a person’s idea, more that my brain would be like oh this is a good idea and not think twice about where it came from.
