Hi folks. Once again, the holiday season is upon us and I couldn't let it pass without raising my head and wishing you all a very Merry Christmas or whatever holiday you celebrate at this time of year.
As some of you know, I have a bad history with the month of December, so I don't celebrate, other than dinner with relatives that do observe the season. This year has been one of the years that frame the basis for my dread of the end of the year. I'll spare you the grim details, but the most trivial of my problems has been that I had to switch the word processor that I use for writing due to a glitch in the old one that I couldn't correct. That's been slowing me down a little as I look for the options I use in the new program, but it's working out for me better than the old one.
That brings me to updating you all on Book 4. It's a work in progress, but with the time I've taken away from SOL and the new program, I've managed to make a lot of headway toward completing the first draft. Once that's done, I'll have it sent out to my editors and give it another pass at the same time for grammar, spelling and the like. Once we all sign off on it from there, I'll polish it a little more and then have it available for pre-release here.
I sincerely hope that I can announce that soon. Until then, I hope you all have a pleasant, safe and memorable holiday.
