Holiday Blues

Christmas and New Year’s have come and gone, and Winter has come to Knoxville in full force. While not exactly Minot, North Dakota, and 30 below, it’s stayed below freezing all day and is supposed to go down to the ‘teens tonight. Ever wonder what folks did about a Polar Vortex before central heating and snuggling pets?

The audio book version of Silent Warriors is well under way, and I have just reviewed and forwarded back Chapter 13. Only 15 more chapters and an Epilogue to go! The book’s narrator, Bill Bird, lives in Sacramento, and today, he says, it’s 67 degrees and the Sun is shining. There is that beautiful weather in California, but at least Tennessee has no state income tax!

Silent Warrior sales have picked up nicely, and there are now six reviews posted on Amazon – all of them 5-star! Meanwhile, Operation Exodus remains in the queue at Escarpment Press. No edits as yet. Apparently , however, it’s still on track for a Spring release.

In the interim, I have begun research on a new project, this one again set in WWII, and yet again, about my favorite subject: submarines! More later.
