Yeesh, has it really been SEVEN months since I last posted? Bad Me!
 
Well, it's Arctic Freeze Day here in Bloomington, IN, so I'm home taking care of bidness while wearing3 layers.
 
News from September 2013 that has had me grinning ever since: I am going to Can Serrat artists' retreat on a supported residency for a full month ... next July ... near BARCELONA!

 Will be working on my "Papaw" story collection and - yes! - the second Ross Lamos Mystery!
 
Plans for travel are shaping up -- I have a travel companion for the trip out, including some tourist time in Madrid and Barcelona that we hope will include literary cafes and open mics!

Among the Madrid plans are a meetup with the Rebelle Society co-founder Andrea Balt. I recommend a trip to www.rebellesociety.com, for inspiration and dream-enhancement.

If you prefer tangible dreamstuff, "The Best of Rebelle Society, Vol. 1" is now on sale at Amazon's Create Space.  I've got mine, and it's delicious.

I started and finished a new story in one evening this past week - a great beginning to a year of writing!

And how are you?
