Full Pink Moon April 9

Nearing the Full Pink Moon on Thursday but somehow it doesn't seem like Spring here. We picked up 5 inches of Lake-effect snow and I heard on the radio that the PA Turnpike was closed between Exits 13 and 28. April snows are always bad because, for some reason, drivers forget how to navigate on slippery roads after experiencing a few warm and sunny weeks.

Yukon still looks like a polar bear with his winter coat but he'll be shedding soon. In kind, I shaved off my beard last Friday and I think that's what jinxed us into a cold spell. Like washing your car brings on the rain.

Pray for warm weather !

Back in the Saddle-yikes!

Well I'm back after a LONG hiatus (Oct 08). I had planned for this time to ramp up my writing and made a little progress. I've resurrected two works-in-progress novels. One is Sci-fi taking placed in the Amazon Highlands. The other is a supernatural tale set in the Nevada reservations.

Good news-I am nearing an agreement with my publisher, Wild Child Publishing, on getting Beckoned into print. I love the eBook version and they have done a superb job so far but getting in print can only help with sales to those who still prefer traditional in-your-hand books.

More later

Full Hunter's

It's Full Hunter's Moon, though here in Ohio we have rain and mist. Perfect werewolf weather. The cycle begins. I've been working steady at the day job and getting no writing done. But after the season I plan on completing a werewolf novella, and kickstarting two novels that have stalled.

Hallow's Eve is coming; be good, beware.

Autumn and Harvest Days

It between moons and summer has faded to just a shadow. It was a glorious one though, sunny almost every day, and hot. Now the storms are coming. Mostly ours but a few leftovers from the hurricanes. We lost power for a week from Ike. Can't image what you folks in Texas are going through.

While I didn't make any progress in writing this summer, I did work out the details on my short story collection and I am happy to say it is now available in paperback- on Amazon and www.etreasurespublishing.com.

It's all horror so the timing is perfect. Hallow's Eve is just around the corner!

Don't forget Full Hunter's Moon on the 14th

September

We passed through the Full Sturgeon Moon, now waning as September approaches. Kids are back to school and, the weather is giving us the first hint of Autumn. I even had to clean maple leaves from the deck, an early signal of Fall's coming. The air is clearer in the morning and often crisp and cold. Football weather

The Eve of Full Buck Moon

It's hotter than Hades in NE Ohio on the eve of the Full Buck Moon. Days are still long, sunrise dreadfully early, but we love the summer months. All too soon my thoughts and labors will be turning toward things like splitting wood for the dark cold months that come too fast and last too long.

High days of summer

Just past Summer Solstice and Full Strawberry Moon, the best part of the year. Writing is going slow, too many distractions. Will have my anthology in print soon and hope same for Beckoned.

Best to all
