I can’t believe it’s the end of August already. Apparently, the older you get, the faster time passes.

Still working on my novel ‘Malie’. It is moving along nicely and as usual, the characters often surprise me as I move them along the plot. I was stuck for awhile as to how to make something happen. Then, it came to me and it actually adds a surprise that I wasn’t expecting, and I hope it’s something my readers will like.

I’m still working on the final touches for my latest finished novel tentatively titled ‘The Irish Girl’. Since the passing away of my late editor/publisher, Paul Bailey, I have found that my forte is definitely in creative writing, not the administrative work required to get my work published. Hope to have it done by early fall.

I’ve been lax in updating my website due to some A/C problems. My service broke down July 10th and as of today my Choice Home Warranty policy has yet to assign a tech to fix/replace it. I won’t go into details, but if you’re looking for a home warranty police DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER CHOICE HOME WARRANTY. Read the comments posted by others who have been left high and dry by this company.

Let me leave you with these thoughts about the support I always experienced in working with Paul Bailey. ‘Charm is a way of getting the answer yes without ever having asked a clear question’. That is what Paul did for me, he spoiled me with his charm and kindness.
