Back again

 Still around. Just been very busy.

I realized on thinking about it that this was an ideal time to go back through the four novels and do the picky editing stuff that I wished I'd done before they made it into print. Most of it is invisible--changes in spelling, a different word here or there, stuff you'd really have to be looking for to even notice it. Reef Runner wound up not having some things in it that I'd thought were there, so it's had a bit of rewriting. Still working through the edits, so it's still going to be a while before I begin thinking about getting them back into print.

Fall has arrived, along with the requisite dead leaves and cold weather. Not my favorite time of year.

My mind is too full of the editing I'm doing to come up with a better post. Maybe next time...

Hello there...

 Greetings, in case anyone stumbles across this blog. 

Obviously, it's been a while since I posted last. I'll have to review the blog and see what there is that needs updating. One major update is that my publisher, Mundania, went out of business in 2019. They had a really tough time of it once Amazon changed their search parameters to favor their own books, and were unable to stay in business. Fortunately for their authors, they closed down before they could amass a pile of debt and returned our publishing rights to us. I am uncertain at this time exactly what I will do to get my books back into print, but I will be checking out all the options. In the meantime, I am working on book 5 of the Patty O'Donnell series, and have future plans for a stand-alone novel set in part on Maui.

Equally obviously, I am not an inveterate blogger. I simply cannot focus on writing a novel and finding enough interesting things to write blog posts about at the same time. I may try to post once a week, but that's not a promise. I will try to keep important things up to date on the blog.

My apologies for the long silence. We've had one medical issue after another come up in the last few years, along with my mother's death from a ruptured ulcer that no one knew about, which happened in 2018.

Since Mundania went out of business, my books are all out of print, and cannot be ordered because all copies were printed at the time of sale. As stated, I will be looking at options for getting them back into print. (Though I have no idea if anyone will see this, given how long it's been since I posted last....)
