I hope you are enjoying the cooler days and the changing of the leaves.

 

Here, we're having a fluctuation of cool, then hot, then cool, then hot. I leave my A/C set on 80 all the time, but at night turn on an electric heater in the bedroom, so it stays around 78-80 over night. My saying is, "Anything below 75 is too cold, anything above 85 is too hot. But I'd rather it be 100 than 30, any day." Of course, we can't control the weather, so we deal with it. I do love the colors of fall, but prefer the warmth of Spring and Summer.

 

 

I just realized the other day that I haven't updated this blog since right before Thanksgiving 2013. I haven't fallen off the planet though. I am still working on Anything for Money. With the help of a friend who works for the FBI, I've managed to write myself out of a few corners. I hope to have it finished and ready to publish by Christmas—but we all know how bad I am at deadlines. And Anything for Money is more of a Halloween novel than a Christmas one, but I won't be able to finish it before the end of the month. It *is* a full-length novel, not a novelette. I'm already up to 358 pages and an end is in sight.

 

I also need to find time and energy to update the website. I've noticed the Flash on the front page doesn't work on iOS devises and tablets. I tried finding a new template for Joomla that would work on them, but am not finding one I like. Someone in the Joomla! Forum told me to get rid of Flash and create an HTML5 video for it. I got it created, but then couldn't figure out how to get it into the webpage. And, I figure I need to be trying to get this book finished worse than I need the video, so I haven't tried.

 

Again, I hope you have a very happy and safe Fall. And I'll let you know when I release Anything for Money.
