Nights on the Point
Here’s a book that will put a smile in your summer reading. One reviewer called it “An insane romp–over to the other side.” I wrote this with my friend, Ken White, using the pseudonym, “Roland Blair.” Folks who knew us in the old days may recognize a few of the characters. https://www.oysterbooks.com/book/CA3xeLkcsmmhNEN3jVchSY/nights-on-the-point

Gun Still Firing (Silently)
Bad guys make a grab for the heroine’s young son. Bastards will have to pay for that. Topped page 100 in the first draft of Silent as a Gun. Little by little, day by day we will get the damn thing written. Funny thing on Facebook today. A dog sits looking at a computer screen. The caption reads, The First Two Rules of Writing: Sit. Stay. Let that be your mantra today.
Word Count: 1397. Page Count: 4.

Word Count: 1522. Page Count: 5.
