Recent Writing

I've completed work on my new novel. It's a fantasy novel set on a world that is populated by semi-intelligent plants. It sounds like maybe I should have written about some our politicians in Washingtion. I've pasted a very short piece of it below. Anybody have any comments or wants to read more of it let me know. I could post an entire chapter.

“Damn, Nighthawk, we have to give Vingalt an antibiotic or an antidote of some type as soon as possible,” he shouted. “She took a bath in the river yesterday. I think she’s been exposed to some local bug, poison, or something. A water creature of some type tried to bite her as she got out of the water. It might have scraped against her. I think she’s been poisoned.”

Quadril was a reticent person and had a hard time displaying his emotions, but had become exited as he realized the seriousness of Vingalt’s injury. Her being injured tore him inwardly but he put on a facade to hide it after he had gotten over the initial shock.

“Quadril, how is she?” Legar asked.

“I don’t know. She seems to be resting. I can’t tell if she’s better or not. Thanks.”

Quadril held her hand and nursed her as well as he could. but two days later Vingalt sat up, handed C’lot’ to him, gave him a tentative smile, reached out and touched his cheek with her hand, gave him a brief kiss, stared off into the distance, gurgled a little bit and lay back down and died.

Science Fiction Trilogy - Moon

I've returned to working on my trilogy about an Earth/Moon conflict and war. I've got two of the three volumes written and am working on outlining the third. I'm not totally happy with the punctuation on the first two and am reading through them as a check before I move into the third volume in ernest. Anybody want to read parts of the the first two to see how I've done? I guess it's necessary to have a few followers before anybody will step forward. I didn't sense a rush of takers--this must be why. It's hard to set aside enough time to work on my writing, but it has to be done. I've completed the third book in the Cosmic Cast series but haven't sent it off to a publisher yet.

General

I haven't been here for a while. It seems that I don't get around to blogging very often. I've been reviewing some of my previous writings and finding that I've changed, or at least my writing has changed. One, probably shouldn't look back and compare with what they are doing today. I'm also getting ready to submit my new book in the Adventures of Curtis, Connie, and Cosmic Cat. It's complete and ready to go. If anybody needs to have any photos retouched or altered I'd suggest using myphotofixed. com.

Climate Change

It's a well known fact that humans cause climate change on earth. Therefore, because climate change exists it proves that humans inhabit the planet earth. This correlation between mankind and earth's climate change is true and we only have to consult Al Gore to prove it. Recente climate change also exists on a number of other bodies in the Solar System, such as Mars, Io, Europa, Titan, and Triton. This, therefore, also proves that Martians exist, as do Ioians, Europians, Titanians, and Tritonians. I don't know about Venusians. It's difficult to determine if climate change actually occurs on Venus with its dense atmosphere. Isn't it amazing that leading science minds, such as Al Gore's, have managed to prove that intelligent life exist on at least one other planet and a number of moons in the Solar System. Who would have been able to imagine such an occurrence from the simple study of Earth and its mankind caused climate change. I think that this should qualify someone for a Nobel prize. Any takers?

New Book, The Logging Town

I've finished the new book and completed all of the illustrations. If anybody wants to see more a chapter of it let me know. I could post it on my web page. The book has a lot of illustrations.
I'm attempting to reduce my five page synopsis to a couple of pages. It's harder than writing the book to start with.
I've also completed a number of additional illustrations for my "witch" book. I've got about half a dozen to go. A few of them are going to be difficult.

The Logging Town

My third book, The Logging Town, in the Adventures of Curtis, Connie, and Cosmic Cat is scheduled to be released on October 1 of this year. This will make it ready for Christmas. This book added to the other two out to make a good package for children who love to read. I've been spending the last few days attempting to devise a method to keep the head from destroying my tomato plants. I've ended up putting a shade over them. I'll know in the next few days if it's doing any good. The heat here in Texas is becoming unbearable. June is normally our month of rain, so far we haven't had any in San Antonio. When we water, which can be only once per week, the yard soaks it up. The next afternoon the ground is still suffering. I think the water is running down into all of the cracks in the ground.

Witches and Castles

I spent a part of this past weekend drawing a castle. It took awhile to get the perspective right. I hope to spend some of this weekend drawing three portraits of witches. I also need to complete my drawing of five witches dancing around a cauldron. Oh, well somebody has to do it. On a totally diffent note, I've started getting tomatoes out of my garden.
