Long time, no post. Life doesn’t stop for writers anymore than it does for anyone else.

Here are some recent changes:

I’ve said GOODBYE to my 60s and embarked on a new decade.

Here’s an interesting take on growing old, by Jonathan Rauch writing in The Atlantic:

Copious evidence shows that most of what people think they know about life after 50 is wrong. Aging per se (as distinct from sickness or frailty) is not a process of uniform decline. It brings gains, too: greater equanimity, more emotional resilience, and … the positivity effect — a heightened appreciation of life’s blessings. Partly for that reason, the later decades of life are, on average, not the saddest but the happiest.

We’ll see!

My long-time publisher Odyssey Books is restructuring — or words to that effect; it’s not completely clear what the status is. I’m a bit dizzy as I watch the changes unfold before me, and see friendly, familiar fellow authors leave the group. It’s rather sad.

But publishing is a might tough industry. Onwards and upwards is the only way. Time doesn’t spool in reverse.

I’m writing two new novels and I hope to have news on them soon.
