Here I am again, and this time a little over a year later. Oh well.

My story To Touch a Dragon appeared in Kerlak Publishing's Tales of Fantasy anthology in late 2007. The folks there have approached me to put out my vampire novel The Eye of the Storm when (and if) I get it finished. I hope to have it ready for them by the middle of 2009.

Tyree Campbell of SamsDot Publishing has expressed and interest in re-releasing the Thran Chronicles books under a new cover, rewritten into only 2 or 3 volumes. I am excited about this new project and look forward to working with SamsDot.

Working still on the other novels, and a story again for Kerlak's 2008 anthology.

On the home front, a new grandson was born in February to my youngest daughter and her hubby in Atlanta -- Joseph Matthew. That makes four by blood, three boys and a girl. In addition, my "son" James and his wife Marcia Miller were blessed with a baby boy, Galen Alexander, in January. I am impertinent enough to call that one grandson as well -- so sue me.

October the 1st I will retire after wage-slaving for 37+ years. I intend to spend the first year doing absolutely nothing I don't really want to do. I owe myself that much I think. Of course, the wife might not think so...

Till next time.
