Hi folks, if there is anyone still out there....as should be obvious I've had a epic case of writer's block when it comes to Shattered World, for a long time now. The times I do muster up the energy to write more content it turns out as a crap and I delete it. This has happened several times.

I've moved on to other projects in the meantime and just published a new project on the Amazon kindle store...


High fantasy with some steampunk elements.   I'm aiming for fantasy with a very real-world feel to the background. I've been building the world for years, a labor of love way before I ever thought about writing narrative and publishing. Was originally gonna follow more of a Shattered World style for it but decided to keep my background notes private and instead start writing narrative in the world and try publishing a more traditional book. Its free through Friday. Reviews would be much appreciated if anyone is so inclined. 
   As for Shattered World, I have every intention of revisiting it and I do have chunks of the next ebook in the series written down. I'm just not happy with it at this point and its gonna need a lot of work to get into shape.

Thanks,

Sorry I don't have new Shattered World content right at the moment. I am thinking about getting back to my roots on this and going back to posting the segment updates on here.
Then later rolling up the segments into an ebook again, like I did before.

Good to hear Bobby! We all suffer from writers bloke, I've got a WW2/Cold War TL and a Rugby TL exactly the same.

I'm still alive :) The project is obviously on a long term pause. I still intend to pick this back up but I can't honestly say when at this point. Just too busy with work, the family, etc, and pulled into different creative projects and hobbies

I am contemplating several approaches for reviving this timeline but haven't settled on a final plan yet. I do intend to resume it but I don't have a specific ETA yet.

the timeline is dead - after Operation TumbleDown there was basically nowhere to go with the timeline - not in any realistic way to explain how the Germans somehow didnt immediately surrender. I and others argued for a rewrite to try to change it so that they stopped the Berlin strike and set up a plausible way for Germany to stay in the war but to no avail. Its too bad because the story will most likely never be finished. And there is nothing as frustrating as following a story for years and then seeing it die a quick and ignominious death due to writing yourself into a corner.

Major edit to Segment 55.3

Hi all, After a lot of thought I've decided to make a major change to Segment 55.3 I have removed the reference to the Germans using biological weapons against the British. Instead, their retaliatory attack is limited to the VX chemical attack. I decided that it just doesn't make sense for the Germans to escalate to bio at this point, especially given the unknowns involved.

Shattered World - Segment 53.3 "Leningrad und Smolensk, oder Tod" Nuclear fire blossomed like the all consuming brilliance of some ancient warrior god. In the middle, hell boiled and reached upwards for the heavens. All around, concentric circles of overpressure extend out to snuff out life and property like a million angry fists, smashing all before them. 40 kilotons of death and mayhem, delivered from the great predator birds of war - flying far overhead, now withdrawing eastward with fighters in vain pursuit; like gnats pricking the giants of old or hawks throwing themselves at the Earth in desperate rage. Shifting the viewpoint downward and out to sea, to the inferno that had been the Island of Okinawa. The battle lines are stark, brutal scars cutting their jagged path across a tortured terrain becoming more that of nightmare by the hour. Craters dot the land, making it appear like the surface of some hostile alien world. Off the coast, gr...

Shattered World - Segment 53.2.2 It was approaching 2:00 in the afternoon local time and the 500 B-31's flying high over the Pacific due east of Sakhalin Island stretched for miles and miles, formations of the huge bombers glinting in the bright sun like a string of pearls draped over the blue ocean below. Captain Dan Wood had been on nearly a dozen similar missions, but those had been to the south over Honshu and Kyushu. This was his first mission this far North, and from what intelligence had said he wasn't looking forward to what awaited him. This raid was the biggest attack launched against Japanese oil facilities on Sakhalin so far and it was also the first large daylight raid. But no one doubted that the Japanese were waiting for them. "Look sharp everyone, we're getting to within range of Jap fighters" Dan said into the mike, glancing at his co-pilot with a slight nod. And, sure enough, a couple minutes later word ca...
