Life and Writing update

The late spring and early summer brought a tide of busyness to my life, which led me to neglect this poor blog. Though I am still caught up in all I am doing, I figured I really should make time to write here, since it has been more than a month. My goal of blogging twice a month has been overtaken by a couple of other goals.

Currently I am retraining to enter a new professional industry. While I am passionate about my writing, enjoy writing, and am thrilled to boast I have six books in print (Unicorn's Milk, Stubby, the Magic Pencil, Callings: Tales of the Conrads of Karna, The Conrad Chornicles: Revolt and Realizations, and A Tale of Butts: The Story of a Couch), as well as a seventh book to be released this autumn, I discovered an opportunity that I should explore. Thus, these past two months, I have been taking on-line classes and training in securities. AXA Corporation is sponsoring and guiding me through this process.

At this point I have passed the test to be registered in health and life insurance with the state of Oregon, and have passed my Series 63 securities test. These days I am studying for the Series 7 test, which I shall be taking in July. This is a big test as it boasts 260 questions taken over 6 hours! You can see why my blogging has been put a bit on hold.

I am still writing, just not as much as before I started taking classes. Lately I have been reworking a draft of the fifth Conrad book. The dialogue is strong in the fifth book, but descriptions really need flushing out and detailing.

Enough blogging for now. Enjoy your summer.

House for Sale in Willow Creek, California

Just for the odd chance someone will stumble on this blog and potentially be interested, my former California home is for sale. Several of my novels, including Unicorn's Milk, were penned while I lived here.

This home is 3 bedroom and 2 bath with beautiful oak cabinets and an open floor plan, which I know many people really like. House has central air and heat and lots of trees for privacy and hanging a hammock on. All three bedrooms have walk in closets.

The link to it is below as well as a few photos.

A Writer's Life

Originally I created this blog to provide an avenue to share my writing adventures with those who might be interested. Though I don't often blog about my writing, I am putting pen to paper or keyboard to computer most days.

For those who may interested this is what I am currently working. I just finished the first draft of a legend based novel that takes place on the planet Karna (see my books Callings, Unicorn's Milk, and Revolt for more information on this planet). This new novel once finished sparked an instant idea for a sequel, which I have already started to pen. As I am typing up and editing the first legend book, I am writing the second one.

Meanwhile, I have a manuscript that I have been waiting for a publisher to print for almost 5 years now. Every few months I call and he says he is working on it or will check on it, and then nothing. Since I only agreed to the print rights for this book, I have now started to format the manuscript to be an e-book. (and yes I could yank the book from him, but what is the point as I have so many other projects I am working on?)

Those my dear readers are what I am creating currently.

My novels are now for sale at The Fussy Duck in Salem, Oregon. So if you live near that area, and aren't into buying books on-line, here is your chance to get copies at a store. All these copies are signed too!

Books Published by Friends and Self

Over the years I have mentioned my own published books, as well of those as my friends. I realize the links to all those books are scattered throughout this blog. Thus, I have decided to create one blog entry with all the links.
