What Next?
Almost Done with 70@70 That’s the title that WMG Publishing has been calling my challenge of publishing 70 major books in my 70th year on the planet. 70@70 I kind of like it. And actually I am done with my part of the challenge, now just waiting for WMG to send the last four books out wide on Monday or Tuesday next week. Four final collections. I did the covers, all the introductions, table of contents, and so on. They were already proofed except for my introduction. So all ready to be put in Vellum and launched, which will happen on Monday or Tuesday to hit 70 in the year.…

Some Fun Pictures
Writers of the Future Awards Ceremony… Got some nifty pictures in so thought I would share a few since I don’t have time tonight to do a real blog because I have to be up early in the morning for a fun run. Getting up at the crack of dawn is not fun, but the 5k runs always are. I had signed up for the 10K tomorrow, but I am too heavy still to try that. Anyway, some fun pictures. Hope this makes those of you eligible to not miss a deadline. First off a picture of the awards ceremony with me standing at the podium doing a presentation to…
