August Thoughts...
Yes, we do still think in August here in Florida. Despite the thunderstorms, humidity and heat...thoughts still form and are put down on paper. I'm in the process of writing the 29th of The Falls stories. It starts off at a convention of law enforcement professionals around the county. Of course it wouldn't be a mystery without something happening...right in front of dozens of sheriffs, deputies, police and state troopers.
I'm also editing the paperback version of the 25th in the series, The Falls: Out of the Cold in the afternoons. I have to admit, I like editing a paperback better than doing it right on the computer for Kindle. But either one works. Not crazy about editing...but it isn't as bad for me as some others writers state it is for them. There's a certain order about it I like.
Hurricane Harvey is about to hit Texas as i write. We used to own a house on North Padre Island although we never lived there. We originally thought we would retire there...but Florida's plummeting house prices and grandkids on either cost of the Sunshine state turned that plan sideways. Funny how life works, huh?
Grandpa Burman, Jeb Smith and Zeke Peters would agree on that. They've all been around long enough to see the ebbs and flows in people's lives. There are times I wished I still lived in a small town...but thanks to being with them each day, I still feel like I do in certain ways.
Here's hoping you all have a good weekend...stay safe if you're in Texas. May the dragons watch over you...
