I am guilty of soliciting emails and comments and largely failing to respond. I’ve been sleeping lately—like six hours a day—and personally, I can’t wait for this to pass and don’t see how people who sleep get anything done. Most of the comments I just click approve. If I don’t see a question mark at the top I rarely answer any longer, where I used to answer every one.

I have a number of emails with links and attachments, so expect a dozen or so guest posts this weekend.

The books that are coming together at this time are larger than I expected and I’m having to trim them down to keep them under 500 pages, which is the practical limit for self-published trade paperbacks. By the end of June there should be eight more titles in print, which will give me more time to engage readers and finish the novels I have lapsed on.

I will address your e-mails, and thank you all, for that wealth of information. You are informers and fact checkers without which this site would lack much. It looks like I have two reports from Right Lady on the Left Coast in the inbox. You paleface witchdoctors ought to like her.
