Author's Note: Blog Hiatus

Thanks for those who continue to read the blog for all of your support, comments, and your readership.

Due to a number of factors--increased workload in the day job (and overtime requirements), a serious case of writer's block, and a very strong desire to finally finish the first book (and to explore options for a second and third)--have conspired to make it necessary to place this blog on hiatus for a yet to be determined period of time.

If I had to hazard a guess, I think it will be sometime in late spring before I will be able to take up the blogging keyboard again.

I will post announcements, as appropriate, on any publishing details of the book when complete and I will make the occasional post on the humorous blog, Famously Undead--see link in the list of blogs I follow.

Please feel free to post your comments on any past post or on this one. I will be checking in every so often.

Thanks again, especially to the Professor, Ravyn, Cerrydwen and Vexis, for all of your support.

A Blast from the Past

A strange postcard showed up in our mailbox the other day. It was not a commercially available card, but was instead an image of an abandoned train station in Detroit—a place that I was very familiar with, but had never actually visited before.

On the back of the card was a simple hand written message—

“I am enjoying all of the new technology your human society has to offer. Let us meet at this ruin of a building on Monday, January 5, 2009, by your human reckoning. I am partial to the roof. 11:50 PM. You will remember me as the South Beach Slayer.

PS-I very much enjoyed your ‘story’ about me, I look forward to meeting you again.”

It appears that I have meeting tomorrow night with the same Doppelganger I met in the South Beach episode several years ago (updated version much more recent, see November’s archives). It is also apparent that he reads the blog and knows the address where we now reside. This could be very interesting.

I will post about the results of that meeting on Tuesday, unless I am not available to do so.
