Oh, the shame!!

I feel the shame! Several of you have emailed me about my ineptness at keeping this blog up to date. Mea culpa, mea culpa!

My life has become a cauldron of conflicting schedules. The article writing must continue in order to keep the wolf from our door, and the newspaper columns are a commitment. In addition, my third book is well underway since the interviews I had at the WWA conference in June.

Needless to say, that all leaves little time for the blog, which is purely for pleasure, not profit. Thank you for your interest, though, and I will - again - try to do better.

The Western Writers conference in Knoxville was a great experience. Several of the authors I have read for years were there and I managed to get autographed books, and even got some to sign my hat!! We had a great time and learned a lot.

Two publishers expressed interest in the new book, and it is well under way. The plan is get it submitted to Kensington this month. If - (Oh No) - it should be rejected, then it will be submitted to the next.

Audio books liked the concept, but could not handle a first person book. The next will be a third person account so they may be in line also. This story just came to me through the eyes of Jonathon, the main character, so I wrote it that way. Oh, well... next time maybe.

Keep in touch and check back - I'll try to be more available as soon as this book is finished. Until the next one, that is. (big smile)

Live, laugh, love... and keep an eye on those who don't! Roger
