For the past two weeks or so, I’ve enjoyed one of country
living’s rarer pleasures. A pair Great Horned Owls, or what we generally call
hoot owls, has moved into the neighborhood. I hear them every morning as I step
out onto my patio with my old dog. And while I’m pleased to hear the owls
conversing, my ageing companion, a black Labrador Retriever who’s been at my
side for almost twelve years, is less certain about the sound. Maybe the dog
knows the owls are descended from flying dinosaurs, the kind that ate his early
kin. He’s pretty smart for a dog.
Autumn is fading on my mountainside. Most of the leaves have
fallen from the maples and mighty oaks, and the skies are graying. Squirrels
are everywhere gathering what acorns the deer didn’t eat. The spicy scent of
fall, that mélange of drying leaves, mowed lawns, and harvested fields, has
given way to acrid wood smoke. The sound of busy chain saws drifts on strong
winds.
I usually have a lot of energy this time of year. Ideas for
stories come faster than I’ll ever be able to write them, but I do try. After
what seems like an incredibly long stretch, I have two books coming out within
weeks of each other. I certainly didn’t plan it that way, it just happened.
The first is entitled, “Doors of Time,” and is about two
high school friends who reunite as adults. “Doors of Time” will be part of the
This Old Gang of Mine PAX along with stories
from Clare London, Stevie Wood, Sean Michael and Aislin Kerry. If you want to
read an excerpt, check out the page on my website. The page is under
construction, but the excerpt is there. Look for “Doors of Time” in
mid-December.
The second story, “Desert Snow,” will be out the first
weekend of January. Is it about snow? Nope. It’s about two guys who meet at the
Palm Springs White Party. Palm Springs
Now we’ve come to end of my bi-monthly visit at An Eclectic
Author and the spot where I close with a little promo about a book currently
available. So before I go, I’ll leave you with a word or two about one of my
favorite characters - Levi. Enjoy!
