Just wrapping up writing for the day and thought I’d get back on here for a quick update. Aside from some pending news, there isn’t much to report. I’ve spent most of the past two weeks working on transforming a short story into a novel and I’m now at the 50% point for the first…

Work In Progress
It’s been awhile since I posted anything here—so I figure it’s time for an update. Since the last blog post, life has gotten busy.
