News, Events and Fun Stuff

Well...apparently I fell asleep, and it suddenly became mid-June. Where does the time go? A silly question, really. The time goes where it goes. That it may inconvenience us is our problem. 

Not really looking forward to summer. Admittedly, I wilt at anything over 75 degrees. That's me. Yet, when I was younger (and that was oh so long ago at this point) I don't remember degrees regularly going over 75.  In the Chicago area, August was supposed to be the hottest month of the year and if it reached 85 we were barely able to handle it. Now, 77, 80, even 90 degrees in May, and no one seems to notice how odd that is. They just care about warmer weather after what they feel is the latest horrible winter. 

But let’s discuss writing. 

I’m still trying to wrangle the book on the man who was falsely accused of being a loan shark for the Chicago mob in the 1960s. I’ve been working with the man’s son, who has been suffering some health concerns, so it’s been slow going. I hope to get it out there soon, because it’s a compelling story. 

I’ve been battling with Amazon in an attempt to get my vampire novels taken down so I can…well put them back up, but under my name. The publisher who published them a decade ago has gone the way of the wind and left me hanging in it. There are two published, but I have many more stories to tell, including two more books in the series, and a finished spin-off featuring two ghost hunters who debut in Ujaali. Remember, I was the one who didn’t have a vampire story to tell, who now can’t stop telling the stories. And I want the stories to be told.

I’m hoping that will be cleared up shortly, so it won’t be too long before you’ll be reading the further adventures of Narain, Ujaali, and a host of others. At this point, the best I can do is have Amazon place it the two published novels in "out of print" status. Hopefully, that will be enough for when I'm finally able to publish the first two novels in my own name. Which I'm excited about doing. 

So for those who hope to buy a copy of either novel, I hope it won't be long until you can do so.

That leaves me with the big project I’m working on that I won’t tell you about yet. But it’s going to take a lot of time and energy, and as I state, that part in my bio about having too many interests for my limited ifree time to handle…well, it comes into play here. But hopefully it won’t be too much of an issue. As soon as I know, you’ll know.

That catches you up. June
