“Tiny Houses,” the third book of the Cid Garrett P.I. series, is in my editor’s hands! I’m also knee-deep into the first draft of book #23 of the Haunted Series. We hope to get these books to you as soon as humanly possible.
While you’re waiting on me, you may want to check out these excellent authors. May of them have their first eBook of their series available for $0.99!
Read MoreWell, how do you like it now? For you winter sports enthusiasts, this is your year! You can fly down the slopes, slide around corners, snow shoe into the woods, ride your fat tire bikes along the trails, and sled… Me, I’d love to do all those things, but I’ve just finished my first draft of Tiny Houses, and I’m in the process of looking it over a last time before giving it to the Red Pen, and I really don’t have the time.
However, I did turn my head from time to time to chronicle the snowfall from my office window. I would have taken more pictures outside, but evidently my iPhone battery isn’t built for the cold, joy. I hate to dump on Apple, but you guys have slid downhill faster than my car on South Airport Drive. Anyway, I thought I’d share a few pictures as I catch you up on all things PEEPs.
Read MoreIt’s two days before Christmas, and I’m here typing madly, not unlike how the phantom plays his organ (wait, that sounds wrong) his pipe organ (nope, that’s worse). I could go back and start again, maybe with less adolescent humor – something I’m stripped of Amazon stars for… Nah, it wouldn’t be me. Okay, one more try…
Read MoreIs anyone else having a problem writing a Christmas letter this year? I’m determined not to write a sad letter, so I’d like to point out a conspiracy I’ve discovered. It’s called Holiday Smoke Screen. No, I’m not talking about how some of my relatives and friends lean out the windows of hotels and motels so you can smoke undetected by the management. One day, one of you will fall to your death, and I’ll have to reconcile the fact that at this very moment, I may have cursed you.
Read MoreIn my continued pursuit of getting the news out about my books, Instagram (IG) was suggested to me by my poet friend, Brian Corrigan. He puts a new short verse up every day, sometimes more than one poem. He’s quite good. If you’re on IG check him out. Anyway, since he suggested it, I thought I’d give it a try.
Read More“Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens…” These words were first penned by Oscar Hammerstein II. They were sung by Maria who wanted to calm the children in her care during a frightful thunderstorm. Later, they would have more than thunderstorms to worry about. Still, the thought of writing something to pull us out of the gloom, I know, appeals to every songwriter, novelist, essayist, and humorist out there. It’s just so hard to do.
I’m very fortunate to be surrounded by comedians, also known as my friends and family. Still, they are having a hard time too. What to do, what to do…?
Here I am as promised with pictures of my office. I admit I will either be fussing around with book placement in the future, or I’ll just learn where I put things and move on. Yes, there is a bit of a madness to how I have the books on the shelves. Some are alphabetical, some are in collections, and others (from recently unearthed boxes) just fit.
