This hit me pretty hard. Some people don't know I was a paramedic for over 30 years. I have sat with the homeless under overpasses, in alleys, in parking lots behind the dumpsters, everywhere they live when their luck runs out. Thank you Union Rescue Mission.

Seen in my travels through Wales. This is the royal observatory at Swansea. Yes I know it's small- but perhaps mighty, nonetheless. The 2 small hills in the background, at the mouth of the bay, may be the reason why the neighboring community of Mumbles got it's name.

Francis Hamit is a superb writer, both non-fiction and historical fiction. His books The Shenandoah Spy, and The Queen of Washington, about the women spies of the Civil War are amazing.

And now I have exciting news. I just saw the cover art for my new novel Tears of a Thousand Years- it's wonderful! The book comes out late summer/early fall.
A marketer asked me: why did you switch from being a self published author to publishing traditionally?
Self-publishing requires about ten different skills that I'm not good at. I didn't edit very well. The editors at the traditional publishers push me much harder to turn out a really good story.
