I’m still on hiatus. Just popping in mostly to share the items in “Of Interest.” Those of you who have commented or emailed, thanks for letting me know you’re still out there. I’ll be back before too much longer.
At this point, I’m pretty sure my next novel will be Book 3 of the Othgygnrk Invastion series, mostly just to get the shared world going and illustrate to players some different ways they can play. I hope to start that sometime in the next few days. I also hope to finish two new novels (in or out of that world) by the end of June. I always work better when I challenge myself.
Happy birthday to my dad, who would have been 92 years old today. He passed in 1987 at the very young age of 59 years and one month. There’s a great deal I never got to ask him.
Talk with you again soon.

Hi Harvey!
I’m still out here – like a hair in a biscuit as they say down South – reading your dailies. You may have more readers than you suspect.
semper rabidus,
Bob 🙂
Thanks, Bob.
