That Chris Baty email in my inbox leaves no doubt–NaNoWriMo is almost here!
Each year the folks at NaNo take down the site for a week or so just before new signups, to clean up and clear out the forums. Then October is a steady run of everyone getting their engines ready to roll for November.

Well, the BookSurge woes are behind me at least for now. I have heard from a publisher! The funny thing is, I cannot find an agent. It seems that agents don't get "credit" for the book if there is already an interested publisher. Stay tuned.
More reviews, including one good and one so-so...

My new book, 'Santa Fe Dreamhouse: Ten Years in the Land of Enchantment' took six months to write- well, these stories were kicking around for years- but will take just as long to get into print with iUniverse.

Video of my agent, Ms. Deborah Warren of the East-West Agency.
I'm embarrassed to say I've had relationships with half a dozen agents over the course of my nearly two decades-long writing "career." It feels almost as unethical as sleeping around and around.
