Because a writer is only as good as the next book, I have compiled & am editing the followup to Giddy and Euphoric. It's currently titled My Barbaric Yawp: More Essays on Writing and Reading. Expect a surprise writer for the introduction.

Just sent a note to the folks who do James Rubel's estate, asking what it would take to obtain permission to write a new adventure featuring his female detective, Eli Donovan, who appeared in only 1 book, 1 of my favorite mystery novels, No Business for a Lady. #amwriting #writingcommunity #hopeful

"Surprising, right? Most people just assume that I've written novels with 35 years of professional writing behind me, but no, my career has primarily been in short stories with a few novelettes and even fewer novellas."

a black background with a white border and the words the end ALT: a black background with a white border and the words the end

A little more than 65k words, folks, and that is a novel in the can. Well, the first draft anyway. You'd believe the pride and excitement I feel right now. I made a goal to finish the novel in the 8 weeks of summer, and I did it. Viva la me!

Haven't heard of this trend. Is this on your radar, fellow writers? Seems counterproductive to me.

In case you don't realize the magnitude of the joy I'm experiencing, I gave myself a goal to write a novel during summer break. I'm a teacher & I get roughly 8 weeks of summer. I have 1 more chapter plus the denouement to go, & I am on target to have all that finished by EOD Wednesday.
