Two-hundred and fifty pages. That’s where Lochlan Museum now stands. The end is in sight, and I’m sure everyone in the household is thankful for that. I promised I will clean the house once it’s done, and before starting another book. Or, getting back to the other one that’s half-written. This guarantees it’ll be the […]
Lochlan Museum, in spite of its many pages of notes, had a slow start. Then it had a total restart. But, the second time around, it started out on the right foot and kept going. It’s on page 136. Disengaged, third in the Terms of Engagement series, is on page 115. Failure to Engage is […]
Finishing Failure to Engage just about wiped me out. I’ve been sleeping a LOT compared to December, when I sometimes missed entire nights. I also had to give up coffee, which sadly, was causing all sorts of health issues. I had no idea at the time, but I’m feeling better. I got up early this […]
“Disengaged,” third in the Terms of Engagement series, is on page 25. “Lochlan Museum” is… on page 1 1/2. Once “Disengaged” stalls out–assuming it does–then I’ll get back to Lochlan. I’ve got so many pages of notes written on Lochlan, I feel like I already know the characters completely. It feels as though their story […]
…and a wonderful end to the old one, because “Failure to Engage” is, and was, completed on the last day of 2016. It’s now available for preorder, with a release date of… the end of February. I don’t remember the date. But it’s finished. Now maybe I can start catching up on all that lost […]
That’s really all I have to say, because “Failure to Engage” has taken off, and the end is in sight! I am so excited by this, because it has been a difficult book to write. I love the characters, I love their story, but I’ve also felt tremendous pressure to do justice to the theme […]
The Ninja coffee brew system really is worth trying, after all. Brad didn’t care for the Keurig, so the Ninja was on his birthday wish list. That was back during the summer, which is also when he got said Ninja. It’s just taken me this long to try making a latte with it. Although I […]
I love my Willow Tree nativity. In New Mexico, the plant ledge in our living room was a good place to display it. In Arizona, there was no place for it. In Colorado, there were a couple of plant ledges that worked well… except they were up so high, it took wheeling the entertainment center […]
Last week, a new sermon series began at our church. It’s called “Behold the Real Jesus,” and the sermon was “Understanding the Names of Jesus.” That particular sermon focused on Isaiah chapter nine. It’s available at Kingsland.org , and it’s awesome. Pastor Rush said that Wonderful Counselor also means Extraordinary Strategist, and that God’s wisdom […]
I kept telling Brad I heard what sounded like bees or wasps buzzing in the two downstairs bathrooms. He suggested it might be the florescent light bulbs. But it wasn’t florescent light bulbs that climbed out of the air vent and into our bathroom Thanksgiving week, while I was in the process of drying my […]
