Changes to come

After much consideration, I will be changing the title and web address of my blog.   Not to worry, I will keep you posted when I come up with the new names.   Since the my book is The Fingerprint of Jack and the blog hasn't really focused on it, I think it would be better to change the title and web address.

Plus as I mentioned in a previous post, the sequel has a completely different name, plus the short stories on here are more for an adult audience (even though adults love kids books too)...

It just gets complicated.  

As the month of March nears an end, my critics should be almost near the end of my book.   I am hoping for some great comments as well as some honest criticisms.

Taking a break.

Now, I am waiting the reviews from my five readers.   I printed out five copies of my book and distributed them.   All are due to be back by mid-April.   So in the meantime, I have been taking a break and reading...  as well as cleaning house, getting stuff ready to sell on Ebay...

But soon, I will return with new short stories.  I also keep working on the one entitled "A Hard Road to Travel: The Letters of Two Sisters."   What lies ahead for them?  Who knows?  Not me!

As I mentioned, I am reading.  Right now, "On Writing" by Stephen King has encouraged and provided me with lots of great information.   I have to be honest and say that I have never read any of King's books.  I have enjoyed some of the movies based on the books.  Who wouldn't love Kathy Bates as Annie Wilkes?  (Well, maybe King himself.)

Working on Book Two

After an evening of printing out five copies of my first book, The Fingerprint of Jack, and distributing them to five lucky readers, I am now starting on book two.   Presently, I call it "Cleo and Edgar."   Sam and Mrs. Steers are off and going again...   And it even gets a little more sinister...
