Walking to work I told someone "Happy Monday." Then fifty feet later, I realized it's Wednesday. Am I turning into a Ziggy cartoon?

I just finished another novel that features The Outrageous Taco, from long-gone Seattle. I'm glad to find a picture of it! Time travel. So at the moment I have 2 new novels I'm working on getting published for you. Also about to start a new one...about Real Estate!!

Blackberries, Dandelions

trailer

The next published book after The Belateds is a detective novel starring Jim Rockford's trailer. There's also a mummy, an alternate reality, a punctuation expert, and Dick Tracy's flying garbage cans. Just awaiting the cover image, and you'll be enjoying that soon. Meanwhile, I'm getting close to the end of another novel about the art world! Stay tuned.
