Yes, I know one of the primary rules for authors is to stay within one genre, but I seem to attract diversity like fruit flies to ripe fruit because there is also "new adult" fiction in progress. However, the Aunt Tabby series has the first four of the series in progress. "Aunt Tabby's House" introduces world-traveler Aunt Tabby, her nephew's family, and the great-nephew and niece who visit her and find clues to the Vietnam soldier who didn't come home. The generational trauma must be confronted along with the relationship between pacifist Aunt Tabby and her military family. Again attracting diversity, the next books in this series explore one of the most important persons in Turkish history, the exploration of Timbuktu, a semi-legendary Civil War heroine, and breaching the iron-curtain wall in Berlin (unless I finish the canoe trip in Yellowstone Park first).(less)

Gremlins in my Files

I hoped to send "Panama and Beyond" to Amazon for publication by May 1, errors cropped up in figure numbering and the Table of Contents. Figures (mostly photos) would randomly re-number, like # 18, 19, 20, 21, and then back to 18, or #78 suddenly back to 23. The TOC showed two items beginning on the same page, and when we corrected that it went back to the same error when we saved the file. My edi Read more of this blog post »
