The last several months have been trying, to say the least. Moving from the desert southwest up to the Pacific Northwest was quite a jump for us. Coupled with packing and unpacking, dealing with a house that was delayed (due to Covid) and then with my own father unexpectedly passing away in mid November, I’m sorry to say that I wasn’t in any mood to write.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But, I’m doing a lot better and have resumed work on the two stories that I’m writing concurrently: Case of the Stuttering Parrot (CCF15)<\/strong> and Strike the Spark (DoA2)<\/strong>. Plus, as soon as one of ’em is done, which will probably be CCF15<\/strong>, I’m going to be returning to Lentari<\/strong> and working on Blast from the Past (ToL10)<\/strong>. It’s a busy schedule and, provided I don’t get any more shocking news, I should be able to maintain it. Fingers crossed for me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n I hope everyone is staying safe out there and you all have an enjoyable Holiday Season. Remember … calories don’t count during this time of year. \ud83d\ude42 \ud83d\ude42 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n J.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The last several months have been trying, to say the least.
