Welcome to my website
JULY NEWSLETTER
July, and the weather is crazy. In a sheltered pool in the Botanical gardens ( the municipal garden or Park) I found a water lily flowering! We've had the warmest winter for over one hundred years. My spring bulbs are flowering now. As the state of the world has hardly improved I hope you'll find some escapist reads to entertain and strengthen your reserve to keep hoping and smiling to cheer up your friends, family and co-workers.
Writing going well, thank you! I've just turned into ebooks ten of my older short stories which have been previously published in journals and magazines. There should be some of them in the Smashwords sale. The novel is stalled, the novellas are roughly first drafted. I want everything finished in time for my 80th birthday next year so I can have a grand birthday party and book launch and relaunch of all my books in new covers and fancy printing. Oh, for more time!!!
More historical books this month and I did hardened my heart against their pleadings and refused most of my fellow authors' mystery/thriller, SF and Fantasy promotions or we'd have been inundated again, but it is hard to say No.
