Hey, guys!  Sorry I haven’t been on for a long time; life happens, you know how it is.  I’ll just bring you up to date with what’s happening.  First of all, I was notified that Tuscany was not interested in publishing my book, and after reading the descriptions of the manuscripts that did win the prizes, I don’t think were really a good match for each other.  In fact, if they had offered me a contract, I would’ve turned it down anyway.  So no big deal.  Second of all, I’ve started a new book that I’ve being trying to figure out for a long time.  The main character’s Everarda Black and it’s almost like a western, though not in the classic sense.  It’s going to be in a fictional land, of course, but it will remind you of a western.  Thirdly, I’m editing my book some more and we’re considering our next move.  Not sure what we’ll do yet, but no doubt I’ll figure something out soon.  And once I have a contract secured, I’ll start revealing things about the book.  In the meantime, I’m puking all over my desk from reading some of the scenes between two characters.  I can’t believe I actually wrote those scenes!  Was I half-asleep or something?  It’s just awful!  Oh, and fourth of all, I’m considering doing something new with this website, but I won’t say more because I probably will never get around to it.
