See, this is what happens if you wait more than six months to write a blog post. Lots of crap adds up and then you don’t even know where to start. Then the summer hits and you’re busy. Then the autumn hits… and you’re even busier. Then you attend a big authors’ conference and go on a cruise and a few more Greek letters hit the streets. Then you remember you’re a disorganized procrastinator… and all hell breaks loose.
Welcome to my life.
For today, boys and girls, we’re simply going to throw out a quick list of Stuff That Happened that might still interest you. (Well, it interests ME, so that’s close enough for government work.)
Biggest News: Welcome to the World, Little Princess!
Last night we welcomed a granddaughter safely into the world. We’re delighted she’s here, and we suspect she will have the entire family wrapped around her delicate fingers before Christmas. Or, to be honest, before lunch.
Second Biggest News: Books on Sale!
If you like cozy mysteries (and who doesn’t, besides maybe Stephen King), there’s a big sale going on this weekend! One of ’em is my Red Ink Mystery book, The Tell-Tale Heart Attack. Grab it (and other books listed here) for under three bucks this weekend (today through Sunday)! Each book cover is a clickable link.

Third Biggest News: TWO new cozies coming in 2022!
I’ve got two more cozy mysteries in the Red Ink Mysteries series coming up in 2022: The Old Man and the Seat Belt and also A Farewell to Arms and Legs. I have the preliminary artwork for the first one, but I learned a valuable lesson: NEVER tell your cartoonist to “do what he wants” with your cover art. Then you end up with dead guys entangled in seat belts and you have to go back and work that into the plot. Plus, where did that cat come from?
Last Biggest News (is that a thing?): Silly Sci-Fi?
Would you like a little ridiculousness with your science fiction? Sure you would. I’m also working on this fun book, and I’m hoping it sees the light of day sometime in 2022. Keep busy, keep calm, and keep reading!
