I’d like to begin with an apology. It’s been too long between blogs. My last blog was way back in October of 2017. That’s, like, three years in a K-9’s life, and I’ve been a dog for not blogging sooner! But, there were reasons. The biggest one was a new job in the advertising business (my primary source of income) caused my family to move to northern Colorado. New job, new state, new house, and all the settling in that goes with it. We love it here, btw. Every morning, I see the usually snow-capped Rocky Mountains as I drive to work. A few days ago, my wife and I saw a bald eagle hunting on the front range of mountains. We feel very fortunate to live in a place that others travel to for vacation. But it has taken me away from maintaining regular communication with friends and readers, so, I apologize.

Next, I’d like to thank everyone for their kind reviews and comments about my latest novel, The Thing With Margot. Not only have the reviews been kind, they’ve been—well—raves! “Best thing you’ve ever written,” I’ve heard many folks say, and they’re not even related! I know that Margot is the sexiest and most action-packed book I’ve ever written, and I don’t quite know what people liked so much. Should I be writing more sex? More action? Either way, I’ll try to keep the momentum going, which brings me to the next topic.

I’ve been working hot and heavy on my new novel called The Ambassador’s Daughter. Set in the present day, it’s the story of the first romantic relationship between a human (him) and an alien (her) from another world. Like The Thing With Margot, it’s filled with plenty of action and international intrigue. Like Substitute Angel and The Intended Ones, it involves main characters with supernatural abilities. The book is also, like earlier works, largely set in Michigan. That’s partly because it happened to suit the story, and partly a nod of the hat to my home state. I’ve now lived in six states and have enjoyed each experience immensely, but I still consider Michigan home, even though I haven’t actually lived there in decades.

If you haven’t checked out The Thing With Margot yet, please do so. Yes, I’m in the advertising business so I have a penchant for selling things, but readers REALLY seem to like this one! I’ve heard everything from it’s a woman-empowering story, to it’s a great action-adventure, to it's a very tender and funny love story. Not all of those descriptions seem to make sense within the covers of one book, but that’s what it is. So, again, please add it to your reading list; and if you get it on Amazon, a nice review is always appreciated.

I suppose another reason why it’s been so long between blogs is because I don’t blog unless I’ve got something to say. I figure the world is oversaturated with content as it is, so I don’t write regularly and editorialize on things like politics, pop culture, current events, etc. I think a writer’s blog should be about writing, either theirs or someone else’. So that’s what I try to keep focused on, although, no doubt, a little editorializing sneaks in here and there.

Anyway, as ever, my deep thanks for taking the time to visit my page. Enjoy the colors and rebirth that is spring and I’ll be in touch more often.
