Yes, I have been busy.

Thank you for noticing.

Anyways, thought I’d drop in to give you all the juicy news.

I finished the edits and did a rough format of the book. The Hungry Dark clocks in at 464 pages.

Hired my proofreader 2 days ago.

Will be commissioning the cover art this weekend. So, look for that in the coming weeks.

Now I’m trying to do all the things I haven’t had time for, you know, emailing potential reviewers, polishing up the short story I’ll be giving away if you join my mailing list, actually starting the mailing list, writing monthly newsletters, and, oh yeah, writing book 3.

So, not going to be not-busy anytime soon.

For those of you that come here to read my political rants, I’ve been trying not to think too hard about that lately, politics, not you lovely readers. So, that’s why there hasn’t been much about it. I manage the occasional tweet, but seriously, I just don’t have the spare energy, at the moment. The rants will come back, especially as the primary season kicks into furious gear.

For those of you that come to read about depression and anxiety, and the tips, tricks, and travails of dealing with them while still trying to be a creative type, I’ve been seeing a new doctor for medication management, for about 6 months now. I think we’re on the right track. I’ll talk more about that on another post. I promise.

For the rest of you that tune in for the colorful language:

Fucking Shit!

(I hope that tides you over. I’ll be back, certainly with things to cuss about. Don’t you worry.)

Until next time…
