Last week I posted late, but this week I'm posting early! This past Friday I felt down at work, and so I took a break and lay in the sun outside in a secluded area. I decided it's going to be a weekly habit of mine, every weekday, to take that outdoors break away from… Continue reading “O Wind”, a poem

Being in the Present
Hello dear readers, I have a new post planned, but lacked the energy to post it Wednesday, or today. Perhaps later in the day I can think of what to write. Since my recent dearth of shared resource links and reblogs, I think it's time for a lengthier post where I share my thoughts in… Continue reading Being in the Present

Alleyway Ghosts — Edge of Humanity Magazine
Written by George Gad Economou every night dissipating in crepuscular, tiny rooms there to vanish into the words and works of those that lived in different eras, back when traveling still required balls, guts, and determination to brace untamed dangers, instead of patience to deal with bureaucracy. no real home to go…Alleyway Ghosts —… Continue reading Alleyway Ghosts — Edge of Humanity Magazine

PUBLISHING NEWS
I think this post gives us some insight into publication these days – practical aspects, such as payment, promotion, etc. It made me feel excited and also inspired for my own writing endeavors. Congratulations, Iain Kelly!
I’ve been away from my blog for a while, enjoying a busy summer of work at the day job and some family time. I haven’t been ignoring my writing completely though, and I’m delighted to announce I have signed a contract to have my next novel published in the UK by The Book Guild Ltd.
‘The Barra Boy’ is scheduled for release in June 2022. Look out for more announcements over the coming months. I have signed a ‘Partnership Publishing’ contract, which involves the publisher putting in the majority of the expense, while I make a financial contribution as well.

But I can’t, and I’m back at the start, reliving the days when we were “us.”
