Once again I am close to being caught up with only two titles still being proofed at this time. Besides the news of the three books below, I should mention that due to a deal between Lulu.com and Amazon.com, most, if not all my books are now available from Amazon. Look me up there, although one of these days I need to take the time to add descriptions to the Amazon listings. The titles and my name are there, but that’s all.

Has it really been two months? Wow!

     In that time I've written the first draft of the first book of the new Maiyim Series Ars Scientiaque Magicae: Unexpected Reactions and am just starting to proof it now. Next up will be The Pirates of Pangaea: An Accidental Alliance, but the real news is that Double Time the fifth of the Down Time, Ltd. series is now available for download at my free e-book site Enjoy!

I am pleased to announce that the latest volume of A Plethora of Deities, Teasing the Furies is now available for download free at My e-Book Site.

As has become normal at this time of year, I am nearly caught up on my proof reading, having only only book (Down Time Ltd. #5: Double Time) left to get into shape. How did I do that? Well, instead of writing this summer, I've been either busy plotting or off on vacation (and occasionally plotting). That means I'm all ready to write another two novels between now and the end of 2008, although at the moment, I am still working on the plot for the next A Plethora of Deities story, Inspiring the Muses.

 My writing schedule of the next few months is, September: Ars Scientiaque Magicae: Unexpected Reactions, November: The Pirates of Pangaea: An Accidental Alliance, January: The Wayfarers: A Continent without Form, March: A Plethora of Deities: Inspiring the Muses. In May I plan to write something, but I'm not sure if it will be Dancing with the Sphinx: Waltz, or something else. For that matter, while my plans for September are as certain as can be, after that I might change my mind. I don't do that often, but, I would hate to be predictable. <g>
