So, I write books. Sometimes I do it in beautiful isolation, locked away with my own thoughts, ready to make my own mistakes and claim my own victories. Sometimes I write with this Craig A. Hart fellow, trying my best to keep pace with him, but really just doing enough work so that I can … Continue reading Regarding the Cleanup of Old Business
The Count of Carolina
When it Feels Like Work
On September 25 of this year I began the twenty-third chapter of my work in progress. I had a feeling then that there was a chance it might be a tough one. It was not the first such chapter in recent history. In the second book of my Cleanup Crew series, The Count of Carolina, … Continue reading When it Feels Like Work
Things That Need To Happen

And It’s Off!
The Count of Carolina has been sent off to the publisher. Think I'll take a few days off. Then I'll start book three.
Unexpected Progress
I didn't anticipate writing this. Certainly not tonight/this early morning, and probably not at all. I've been working on my new book, The Count of Carolina, for a while now. I'd have to open the file and check it's original creation date to tell you exactly how long, and I'm feeling rather lazy. It is 2:15 … Continue reading Unexpected Progress
“Strike that… reverse it.”
I gave this blog entry a title which many people will recognize immediately as a quote from one of the great philosophers of our time, Mr. Willy Wonka. I did that because I'm talking about fixing things, about making them right. When I write a book, before even my advance readers get their hands on … Continue reading “Strike that… reverse it.”
