How time flies...

Very behind on blogging due to various factors. First, I was writing; then we were celebrating Midsummer both publicly and privately; then we were recovering from the celebrations; then I was reading and researching... Anyway, before I plunge back into the writing cycle, I thought I'd better let people know I'm still here...

The garden's coming along well, despite a few minor hailstorms: the third cherry tomato is getting ripe; the peas are almost finished; the onions are forming bulbs; and the squash has started blooming. Then there are the beans, and the corn, and the cucumbers, and the eggplants, and the peppers--oh, yes, and my first red raspberries! This obviously is another reason I haven't had time for blogging...

Pictures again soon - I promise! Now, back to work...

...and Wednesday...

I've spent a bit of time housekeeping on the blog sites during the last couple of days. Aldertree Books is pretty much fully set up now, and I encourage people to take a look. I've also begun taking link lists off the sidebar on this site and putting them in a separate page (see the page list on the upper right - there will be more soon). A lot of this non-writing activity is getting done during periods when I don't have the undisturbed time I need for The Druid's Son. That will change soon...



The picture above is from the Irish trip. I'm thinking it might make a good cover for this (click on the link and scroll down to see what I mean)...

New Things

Getting behind again with my posts -- well, that's January. I passed the 200 copy mark for Storyteller around 12th Night, which is good sales for the amount of publicity I do (scant), and am working on the next book as time permits.

A couple of new things on the sidebar: first, two new links for other blogs I like: Blogtrotter and The Expvlsion of the Blatant Beast (really!). These two are Celtic language/history related as opposed to the book review blogs I've listed before. I ran across a link to Blogtrotter on Amazon, and he mentioned EBB.

Secondly, I'm adding a sidebar box below the two book cover panels to display my progress on the next book in my series, The Ash Spear (approximately 20% completion so far).

Back to work...

yes, I'm slow

Slow getting started at the blog again, anyway, although I've been busy in the background. I'm trying to come up with a way to make chapters of Storyteller available though links on the blog, but so far have hit a few technical glitches. Coming soon: a website at Alder Tree Books, where I can offer that sort of thing.

More soon - in the meantime, keep reading; there is lots of material in the archives!
