"I come back to you now at the turn of the tide."

Welcome back folks. You all still with me? Thought not.

Ah, but still the tide it is turning in this ongoing novel I call my life. Interest’s been waning the last few years so my publishers Fate & Destiny decided the franchise needed a long overdue revamp.

First off the protagonist got fired from the job that the readers felt he whined too much about and caused the lagging pace of the prose in the last few volumes. Next the author sent him back to collage to do a degree in Business Studies with a possible lead in to a career in teaching.

The hope is that this bold new direction and some new supporting players give the character a new lease of life and give the reader a renewed appreciation of the series.

Of course thing can’t go that easyfor our hero. As long time followers of the books will be aware there’s a marriage to long time love interest Michelle not too far away. Add to this the change in career from reasonably paid office worker to student and it should help generate a little tension when it comes to financial and social aspects to story not mention the romance element.

All in all I think it’s a good plan. Over the last few editions the lead had become a little reparative. Some might say stale. These changes in story elements might be just what are needed to make things interesting again.

The pages are being written as we speak and personally I can’t wait to see what twists and turns are in store this time around.
