Here we go - the first post for 2018.
I hope everyone's new year has started well.
January has unfortunately been a month of mixed fortunes.
The usual coughs/cold etc etc, and my elderly mother having a short hospital stay.
Also there was a week of dental pain (I've never taken soooo many Ibuprofen!), to spice things up. Followed a week later by saying a very happy farewell to the offending tooth 😀

The first edit of Book 5 (as yet still untitled!) has suffered a tad as a result - but I'm hoping to get it completed by the beginning of next week.
The word count has increased - as I knew it would.
Despite being fairly brutal with the editing it's up over 134k words now - which is around 6k more than the 575 page 'Wagon Mound to Santa Fe' ended up being when it made it into printed format.
Ho hum............
When that's complete I'm going to re-visit the web page I was designing prior to Christmas, and get that functioning and up on the 'net.

God willing 2018 will see a re-run of 2016's 'Ridin' With The Sheriff' book tour around six of the SW states of the USA.
As I'm sure you can imagine I'm already looking forward to that greatly.
I have a few fellow authors names who I'm planning to meet up with for a coffee/beer while we're passing through.
Happy days.........!

Just remains for me to wish you all a great weekend.
Stay safe out there!
Cheers.................
