I took a break from social media for about four months.
Fatigue, I guess. I wanted to write, enjoy my family, and surf. The writing and family went great. The
surfing so, so. I still get rides, and occasionally good rides, but embarrassments
are less occasional. I’m with Hobson in
the movie Arthur. On his death bed,
Arthur asks, “Do you want anything?” and Hobson replies, “I want to be younger.” My birthday is coming up, but asking for youth as a birthday gift seems contradictory.

The first draft of Deluge is complete at long last. Actually, the second draft, but who's counting? This is a disaster story and since I had never lived through a disaster, I had to do a lot of research. It was a fun book to write, and I'm confident you'll enjoy it. Unfortunately, it will be many months before it makes it through the remaining steps to publication.
In the meantime, Crossing the Animas is now available from Center Point Publishing in a hard cover, large print edition. Libraries are the primary market for this format, but it would make a dandy gift for some of us older guys who like our print large and our stories larger.

I'll return sooner next time. Have a great 2018!
