The Dining Room Table...

     I'm writing this from my dining room table. My standup desk is left upstairs and we are mutually wishing I was there. I had surgery on the toe next to the big toe on my left foot. I had to have the bone shaved down considerably as it was affecting my walking and rubbing on the big toe. It's been coming for years. Had it done Wednesday. Here it is Friday and I feel a bit frustrated and like the proverbial bump on a log...sadly out of place. It aches, but not badly and getting around is like walking on eggshells. 

     Anyway...enough of a pity party. The second proof for The Falls: May Flowers is on its way from CreateSpace.com and then, after a quick look through, I'll give the okay to have it available on Barnes & Noble, Amazon.com, CreateSpace.com, etc. If you're interested, it takes about four or five days usually after I approve the proof for it to be available on Amazon (its immediately available at CreateSpace.com) and two to three weeks for Barnes and Noble and other book stores to list it.

     The initial proof for The Falls: Election, the next in the series, is being shipped. That will take Carolyn and I about three weeks or so to go through carefully. So it should be ready for approval in a little over a month. In the meantime, I'm working on The Falls: Prodigal Twin, nineteenth in the series as an eBook for Kindle. I'm on page 93 on the Word document I believe, which translates to about two thirds of the ways through. The Falls: County Fair is still the latest on the Kindle "shelves".

     Spring in Florida is in the mid 80's and the AC runs quite a bit during the day (we keep it at 78 degrees). I'm not sure I'll ever really get used to Florida weather. I'm an old Vermont boy, by way of Scottish, English and Irish ancestors. All of those locations together can't equal the humid and heat of a Florida summer, trust me.

     So here I sit, one leg up, trying to get comfortable and wishing the healing along. May your day be filled with small pleasures and may the dragons watch over you...
