Triple failure at FAWM in 2015, 2017 and 2018 led me to abandon any attempt to participate in the years that followed. I focused instead on revising my novels, and in 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, I decided to do live online reading of my first two novels. But in 2022, I came up with a new concept and added new songs to my "40 Days" rock opera. I even threw in a few additional sets of lyrics for other projects. I completed FAWM that year and completed most of the songs with music as well.
