A New Year's Message From Us to You...

2017 has not been the best or worst year for us. However the last month and a half has really been reaching for the latter title. Helen and I came down with a nasty strain of flu which in my case turned into Bronchitis and the two of us spent the last 10 days pretty much lying in bed and taking medicines that the doctors prescribed us. the last month and a half have been pretty rough on us. We barely had enough energies to actually open up the Christmas gifts we had for each other, before heading back to bed.

Needless to say, NO writing got done. Nor did any covers get finished, editing completed, or other final touches for the anthology whose release has been postponed until further notice. We hope to get the book out soon, we're just not sure exactly when yet. Life's demands are complicating things such as the need to look for another apartment closer to where we work, along with attending service for our dear friend Elaine Gregory who passed away shortly after Thanksgiving.

We ask for your patience and promise to release 1-3 books before 2018 is over. The anthology "The Vampyre Blogs - One Day At A Time" will be the first to be released. After that will be either "The Door" or "The Vampyre Blogs - Family Ties".

There is also the chance that "The Pass", another installment of the Para-Earth Series cowritten by our other partner in crime Richard Caminiti:

may finally see the light of day before the year is out. (More details and insights into that tale will be coming soon however here are a few hints Chiangshi, Skinwalker, psychic, Para-Earth). We're all very hopeful for this one, as it will be Rich's first venture into writing and believe me, he's been doing some really great work on this story with me.

So there you have it. Everything that has been going on and what we're hoping to accomplish in the coming year.

We'd like to close this year and this entry by saying thank you for all of your continued support and hope to see more of you in the coming year. Finally, please accept this old Irish Blessing as we wish each and every one of you a very Happy New Year:
