This whole genre

When blogging, there are days when the first question is what to blog about. Today is that type of day. In real life, this is a re-playing a movie that I actually bought a copy of. My son was with me for the earlier part of the day. Right now it is dark out: it is 5:30pm local time. The Germans are like the English in that they kept the 24 clock after the world wars - weird that in the end they agreed about that...This involves a side issue about misunderstanding when using different…

What Was I Thinking?

Some time ago, my editor at LL asked when I might be finished with the second book of the Dead Detective series. After a pseudo-scientifi process, I told her June. Wrong. Here's why. First, I am an incurable optimist. I tell myself that I will write for four hours/day, five days/week. That never happens, of course. Life intervenes. Second, creativity does not like being forced. Even if I could sit before my computer for four hours a day, five days a week, much of that time would be spent… Continue
