Well, so, all right, first of all, I’m back. And I might be back for a while or not, but I
have been maintaining a long list of topics I’ve felt like talking about, and
things I wanted to get back to, and to my pleasant surprise, there’s now a
little bit of extra time to work on them.
Consequently, a whole bunch of things that have been in
mothballs and closets and on the back shelf of the fridge growing blue hair and
many other metaphors for waiting are lined up to come lurching forth, and I
have a bit of time in which I can let them lurch forth, so forth shall they
lurch albeit talk like Yoda I shall.
As for what I’ve been up to, well, I had a couple good-sized
consulting gigs, The Last President
to finish,
and new clients to hustle, and, well, when I had spare time, I felt
like reading for pleasure, staring into space, hanging with the family, and
that sort of thing. Didn’t even get a
newsletter out at Christmas or for months after, o loyal subscribing fans, I
apologize, but the newsletter finally did get out this past weekend, so if you
subscribe (or thought you subscribed), it should have arrived for you early
Saturday morning. If it didn’t, and it’s
not in the spam trap, drop me a note. If you don't subscribe and would like to, just email and ask, it's free.
Anyway, big projects are now mostly off my desk; The Last President will come out in
September, bits and pieces of my backlist are in a variety of channels and will
be available soonish (including, for those who have asked, a new ebook of Encounter with
Tiber, which should be out from Open Road in a couple weeks),
I also have proposals out to a variety of places, and am
doing a reasonably good job of filling my plate (or maybe I should say cookpots
or serving bowls, since the job, ultimately, is to get things fixed up and delivered
to you.)
And that’s what’s been going on over here in the
hermitage. More soon, I hope; next post
should be about something or other substantive.
Or at least about science fiction, depending on how substantive you
think that is.
