Currently working on The Red Cross of Gold XVII:. Cross Purposes, getting it ready for release sometime before the end of May. The work is bogged down due to editing problems and the fact that I'm in the middle of making a move from Central Texas to deep East Texas. I just want to get moved and settled so I can get back to work on my favorite thing: Writing!
