Morning!

How is everyone doing? I imagine we’re all taking a bit of time with family during these past couple of weeks. I am nose deep into words and well, planning to slog off into the wilderness of Lexington on Monday.

I’m working on finishing up Dim Sum and then I’ll roll into Murder 2 or Hellsinger 3. Both of them are quite alluring. After that, we’ll be saying goodbye to the Sinners boys as I start the final book.

Now, that might all change but that’s kind of what I’m looking at.

Oh… and I’ll be doing a cover reveal and blurb release on The Novel Approach for “There’s This Guy” which is coming out in March. A contemporary. Ish. I know. We’ll talk.

Isn’t this a great picture?

Morning!

Not much is going on. It’s a bit nippy here in SoCal… yes, I know… it’s colder elsewhere but nippy here means going from mid-thirties in the dead of the morning to high-60s in a few hours. It’s like you’ve got to dress for the beach under a heavy coat.

Nothing much is going on. Just writing. And well writing.

If you’re in or near Lexington, Kentucky, please join Mary Calmes and I for coffee on the 29th. We’ve got a few people coming already but the more the merrier.

Condolences to the Arvin Family and a Sad Day for Our Community

166165_dzo1xbfqEric’s mother has sent word of Eric’s passing. He left us peacefully and surrounded by love.

We say goodbye to a great man, one larger than his body could hold. We lose today a fantastic imagination, a bit of a dork and a boisterous soul with a bit of a dry humour but a sharp wit.

Our world will be a bit darker without Eric but I am thankful we have his words, his stories and our memories. Please keep his family in your thoughts during these trying times and may Eric continue to kick ass and take names wherever he is off too.

Hello.

I’m not doing a huge amount of posting this week. I am.. well, there’s the Arvin family who is going through one of the toughest challenges life can throw at a person which puts things into a hell of a perspective.

Writing is happening. I’m hitting the crucial bits of Dim Sum so that’s sucking out a bit of my brain. I could use more sleep but instead I’ll probably just get more coffee. As one does.

What are your plans for this week? Mine are fairly mundane and mostly include finding my leather jacket which might still be in one of the suitcases I’d used to bring back stuff from the UK.
