Where have I been?
I am keenly aware I haven’t posted anything since before Christmas. But, I took a break over the holidays and enjoyed a trip to New York City for the Annual Independent Book Fair. While that was interesting, we mostly enjoyed shopping and eating and seeing the Big Apple. I particularly enjoyed Spamalot although Sherry, my wife did ask me during the intermission “what the heck is going on?” which, of course, is the whole point of such a play. Then, we saw the Broadway premier of “Irving Berlin’s White Christmas” and it was wonderful.
We came back for Christmas with the family but I got this cold while in New York that has waxed and waned and waxed and waned now for 9 weeks and 5 days (but who’s counting). Also, my 94 year old father fell on New Year’s Day and his care has consumed our lives. Don’t get me wrong. I love my father dearly. But, it is trying when your roles as parent and child become reversed. It is a part of life that I was only thought I was prepared for. Perhaps there is a book in this. Someone needs to address the issue and help us with our ailing parents. After all, one day I will be in that situation and our society is seeing a huge growth in the aging population.
I am now back in the saddle and working on the final rewrite of “The 11th Demon: Children of the Bloodstone”. I hope to get with my agent sometime soon and begin to make plans for the future of the Jonathan Steel series as well as other books.
Hopefully, 2009 will be a much better year than the last 8 weeks.
