Do I have another 50k+ words in me?

I'm doing the research and planning for my NaNoWriMo 2018 experience. The working title is Meet Muriel. More later.

Don't sweat the small stuff

Two of my short stories were accepted by the 2018 edition of East on Central, a journal of words and pictures. At the publication paerty, I was honored to be asked to read the one submitted under the special topic of Our Town, Municipal Directions.

Busy at the keyboard

Since the end of last year, I rewrote my NaNoWriMo 2017 effort into another released work called Off The Books, available at Amazon in paperback and ebook. And over the summer of 2018, Don Meyer and I wrote a piece called Cold Shoulder, available at the same place. That makes my novel count six released. Invasive Species: Food Chain, the last book in the trilogy, is weeks away from release, but I should advise "before the end of the year" to be safe.
