The Snowtear Wars Series: Completed -- August 28, 2008  It is with great pleasure, and satisfaction, that I am announcing I have completed the fifth and final book in The Snowtear Wars series. It ended up having twenty-two chapters in all. The relief I feel is enormous, and the joy is overwhelming. Yes, I still have to do a lot of editing left to do, but the story is now in place, and now I can relax and enjoying polishing everything up. I will put the book aside for awhile now and then go back to it in a few months to do the editing. 2008-08-28 15:00:49 GMTComments: 0 |Permanent Link
Chapter Twenty-One Done -- August 28, 2008
The climaxes have all been completed in Book Five now. I have the last wrap-up chapter left to do, which will only be a few pages long, and then the book and the series will be complete. I will have to open up a bottle of champagne for this one! 2008-08-28 13:10:15 GMTComments: 0 |Permanent Link
Summer Work Almost at an End -- August 27, 2008
I'm beginning to wind down my summer projects for the year (my outdoor projects). All my wood has been cut, split and stacked. I've built my kids a clubhouse. I built benches around our bonfire pit (which I also built). I made a picnic table, with benches. I redid our upstairs bathroom, and got my neighbor to help me lift a cast iron tub up there, too. God bless him. I repainted my front porch and basement door. I've put up five sets of shutters (I still have eight to go, but am not sure if they'll get done this year). I built a garden arch for the gateway, and another massive arch to support a giant wave of grapevines that were trying to take over a path. I cleared one new path down to our brook, and can't wait to make a seating area down there next year. Overall, a lot got done this year. All these projects coming to an end means one thing: time to get back to serious writing. Yep. The train is leaving the station again, and it's time for my imagination to get aboard. I'm 10 pages away from finishing Book Five of The Snowtear Wars, so I'll do that first. Then I'm going to do some more polishing on a couple of other manuscripts I have in a drawer so my agent can send them out. Then I'll get back to doing more editing on The Snowtear Wars. And then, finally, I will get back to writing my new series. We'll see where I'm at by Spring of 2009. Hopefully, I will be well on my way to the next level. 2008-08-28 03:16:41 GMTComments: 0 |Permanent Link
Bigfoot A Hoax -- August 15, 2008  I'm sure many of you have heard about the Bigfoot in Georgia that two men reportedly found while hiking in the woods. Just so you know, the man behind this operation, a Mr. Biscardi, was known to have perpetrated another bigfoot hoax in the past. So why should we believe him this time? Because of this stupid photo of a stuffed gorilla suit in a freezer box, and some supposed hairs they sent to a scientist in Minnesota to study? I hope you're not all falling for it. As always, consider the source before you make any judgments. As much as we want to believe it's true, this isn't the real deal. Their claims that the body is under tight security so it can be tested before they reveal the evidence is nothing more than a good marketing scheme that the media is feeding into and dishing back out to the public. Some people just didn't get enough attention when they were kids, I guess. I hope they enjoy their fifteen minutes of fame, which, unfortunately, will probably turn out to be much more.

Chapter Twenty Done -- August 12, 2008
Okay, I know I said I was supposed to have this book finished eleven days ago, but that just goes to show you how busy my life is. I did finish chapter twenty in Book Five now, which is the most important chapter in the entire series. Now, I only have two chapters left, short ones, to wrap up the book, and more importantly, the series. It's about 2-3 days worth of writing, at most. Hopefully that means I'll be done by Friday. I am really please with the way the series is ending. I've only had it floating around in my head for three years now! I seem to be finishing a lot of projects lately. I finished cutting, splitting and stacking wood for this winter this week (which is why I didn't finish the book sooner). I had to take advantage of the sunshine we got during those days. We've had so much rain lately, we're breaking records. Roads are washing out!
