           This isn’t much of an update, but I did wish to mention that, much though I love my cover art, there will soon be an alternate cover by the wonderful artist Caity Hackett.  This change is simply to weigh how heavily the book is judged, proverbially speaking, by its cover.  

             Also, I wished to express congratulatory sentiments with each and every winner of the Nerdist Contest and my utmost encouragement for everyone who fell a touch short.  That was an exciting, super-fast , mad dash to the finish line and no mistake!  I assure you, if it had been a fantasy competition, I’d have thrown in for keeps, too.  Alas, Science Fiction is fascinating to read but not the least my strength in the writing of...  yet.

              In the meantime, here’s a picture of Trooper.  He was adopted a few years ago and, at the last report, spends his days curled all the way around a few,  gods, she must be six by now, year old girl with her back on his side and his head and tail on her lap, all curled up on the couch.  (The jeans belong to yours truly.  The grass is from Golden Gate Park)
