Hard to believe it’s been a week since I posted about Jason. Thank you, to the ladies who posted. I did go to the visitation at the church, which was packed with kids his age. As I was surveying the crowd, one mom said to me, about the kids, “I just hope they’re paying attention.”

Let us hope.

Sunday I received another email regarding a friend’s passing; his celebratory memorial is this Sunday. Unlike last week’s news, this one was not unexpected. Bill had lived a glorious life. I met Bill and his wife Dayle in a screenwriting class, and they were adventurers of the finestkind. Dayle is a freelance travel writer, and Bill, among other things, had been a pilot for Sky King. They had a charter boat on the lake, but spent a lot of time on the road. Dayle is from Australia, and when I first met them, they were spending six months in the US and six months Down Under – eternal summer. Please keep Dayle in your prayers during her time of adjustment.

I’ve been knee-deep in edits, both on THE FACE OF DECEIT and my day job. But much of that is behind me, and I must turn back to finishing the manuscript for #3. I need to finish judging a few contest entries, first, then more writing. I re-joined the American Christian Fiction Writers, and have been fielding a few promotional efforts.

Thus…no blogging. But I hope to get back to it now…with the writing comes more ideas for blogs.

Busy is good.
