Hi guys!<\/p>\n

It’s been a busy summer for me.\u00a0 I will say that’s the ultimate way to make time fly:\u00a0 when you realize you don’t have enough and actually want<\/em> it to slow down.<\/p>\n

Fans of fantasy should be happy with this.\u00a0 The 6th Tales of Lentari\u00a0 adventure (title has been picked but is HIGHLY subject to change) is almost finished!\u00a0 I’ve got one chapter left and then it’ll be off to the Posse to be picked apart.<\/p>\n

Mystery lovers will also have something new to read here in about a month.\u00a0 I’m about halfway through the 2nd novel in my new mystery series.\u00a0 That one already has a title:\u00a0 Case of the Fleet-Footed Mummy (Corgi Case Files #2).\u00a0 The mystery novels are significantly shorter than the fantasy stories I write, so I should be done with this one in a week or two.\u00a0 And then the Posse will go through that one, too.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned!\u00a0 I’ll keep everyone posted on progress!\u00a0 Also will be working on two covers.\u00a0 Newsletter subscribers will get first peeks at them.\u00a0 I’ll be running ideas by the Posse.\u00a0 In case you were wondering, the Posse are a group of friends\/readers who have agreed to lend me a hand to proofread the stories, compare notes, run ideas by each other, and so on.\u00a0 Interested in joining the Posse?\u00a0 Read through the previous blog entry and see what’s expected.\u00a0 If you’re still interested in joining then drop me a line!<\/p>\n

Also being a movie lover, I’ve watched a number of movies that had a lot of hype to them.\u00a0 I’ll do something new and give you a one line review on each.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Independence Day – Resurgence:\u00a0 dear God, don’t bother<\/em><\/li>\n
  2. Secret Life of Pets:\u00a0 disappointed – more sad than funny<\/em><\/li>\n
  3. Ghostbusters (new one):\u00a0 vindicated – shouldn’t have bothered<\/em><\/li>\n
  4. Finding Dory:\u00a0 hysterical – Disney scores another hit!<\/em><\/li>\n
  5. Jason Bourne:\u00a0 average – felt like a recycled plot<\/em><\/li>\n
  6. Central Intelligence:\u00a0 predictable, but still hysterical<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Have you seen anything good?\u00a0 Want to recommend a new movie?\u00a0 Leave me a comment!<\/p>\n
