Fools%u2019 Journey568work Solutions, where our website was officially registered, so I could point studioindiana.com away from our old host and toward Hostinger. Even though Hostinger%u2019s website said the transfer could take up to 48 hours (sometimes more), it also mentioned that it often required less than an hour. Unfortunately, when I started the transfer process, nothing happened. I waited three days before contacting Network Solutions%u2019 tech support.

The entire process, from deciding to redo our website, to the final step, took an incredible two months.

Why? Because they were not yet published, and we still hoped to get them released someday, so we didn%u2019t want to make them available online to the public just yet. While Lynn and I certainly didn%u2019t want to publish them ourselves, we still held out the hope of another publisher doing so. Back during the Covid pandemic, we%u2019d offered Ghost Barns to two different non-profits to release themselves as a fund-raising project. While neither organization took us up on the offer, we now
