You might be hard pressed to prove it based on my visibility lately, but I’m still alive.

The last couple of months have been trying. Mostly I’ve been trying to get my head above water – and failing. An adjustment to my medications went awry and I’m only now beginning to find my balance again.

In August I need to get Cape Grace finished because I’ve an editor on standby for September 1. I’ve paid the deposit and if I don’t get the book done, there will be some significant consequences. It’s not like there aren’t consequences anyway but you probably get my drift.

Thanks for the supporting comments and well-wishes. I hope I’ve turned a corner and – starting tomorrow – things will begin to get back on track.

Of course, I’m notoriously optimistic about this stuff…

I missed the last few updates so…here goes:

The last half of March had way too much red on it. Working on paperbacks is a “tough job” for me and I’m easily distracted.

On the plus side, I crossed off two of the open audio projects and I’ve got no more outside jobs (other than the odd drop in line for a project that was supposed to be completed by now).

April was a bit better There’s more blue and I actually finished up the galley for Full Share. It should be available at Amazon now.

Most of the month was one problem after another. Between being sick, having technology issues on the morning walk, and all the other interruptions to my well ordered existence, it wasn’t the best month.

On the plus side, I’ve gotten a new keyboard that I love. I’m working on new stories — and some old ones — and I’ve put aside the paperbacks for the time being. It’s time I got back to having a bit of fun with writing.

So, hurray, hurray.
The first of May.
Outdoor .. um … writing (yeah, outdoor writing!)
Starts today!

Safe voyage and thanks for your continued support.

I’m a couple of days late. It’s been a difficult month.

You can see by all the red on my calendar, I’ve not gotten as much done as I wanted.

On the plus side, Owner’s Share is doing well. The repaired file was up within hours but Amazon didn’t notify the 100 or so people who bought it immediately so people are still finding that they purchased a bummed file. Thanks to a sharp-eyed fan, we discovered why the error got in there – and why I didn’t see it. I should have held the book for another month until I had the time to review it properly. Mea culpa.

I also got the markup done for the Full Share paperback. I’m chipping away at it.

I’ve also gotten a couple of audio projects off the board entirely. They’re not big projects but distractions and distractions are not anything I need right now.

For the rest of the month, my goals:

• Get Double Share into a paper proof copy for markup in April
• Get the changes to Full Share loaded into the ebook and paper.
• Publish Full Share in paper
• Finish the last two audio shorts that I owe to other people.
• Be more consistent with the daily walk.

Wish me luck.
