It’s been a couple of weeks since I posted anything, so lest you feel I’ve abandoned my blogging post, I wanted to post a little something, say hello, and tell you I’ve not gone anywhere. In the next couple of weeks, I’ll be posting Q&As by authors, so there will be fun new stuff soon.

But it’s the fourth of July and today will find us at my sister-in-law’s home on a cul de sac in Costa Mesa, CA, where there will be a water slide, bounce house, cotton candy machine, and a dunking booth. Travis is looking forward to the dunking booth. He can’t wait to be dunked. Ho-kay….. Me, I’ll watch. Never been dunked, never want to be dunked.

First, though, I need to work on my novel. I will be thinking about it all day if I don’t. It’s 7:37 a.m. The house is quiet. Brian didn’t get home from a gig in Temecula until one a.m. or so, so he’ll be out for a while. Travis will be asleep for a while more, too; he was up watching the “Miami Animal Police” and the cooking channel until late (his two favorite stations are the Food Network–especially “Iron Chefs”–and Animal Planet).

So right now I’m going to leave you and go to my fictional world. Are y’all getting any writing done today?
