Is he still writing?

The answer is Yes! The new story is titled: Rub, Don't Blot. Interesting you say. I thought so. too. A father and his son leave Connecticut on their way to Reno, Nevada. It's a long trip in their old Ford sedan and they have exciting thrills along the way. Aunt Emily has a large house and she is waiting to provide shelter and sustenance to the travelers. What happens during the trip and at the end? You'll have to wait until the book is finished and published to find out.

The first draft of Billy Bob's Oasis is finished (hooray). Now it's on to the less satisfying work.😎😎 

Progress

Just passed the usual psychological barrier (40K) on "Billy Bob's Oasis." Noah finds new information and he's following up on it, but is somewhat hesitant to go further. He will keep the newly found information under wraps until the appropriate time to reveal it.

Subscription benefits

An American reader decided to dig into the Peter Dawes series, beginning with the first: Massacre at Fort Sage. He or she liked that one enough to plow through the next three, all complete. If the appetite for the old west persists there's one book left in the series and we'll have to see whether his/her taste is sated or whether that individual has to finish the series.

So, the answer is the reader was not sated with my novels. Finished Ghastly, Grotesque and Gruesome and then read half-way through the second novel published by Create Space: Four in a Row.

Pleasing to know that there are still readers out there and that my work is both entertaining and interesting enough to encourage them to forge ahead with more.

September 8, 2025

I'm a beneficiary of Amazon's subscription service that allows a subscriber to access all the books in their library. For example, an Italian (male/female) has read five of my listed books--complete--in the past few days. I have no way of knowing whether this welcomed attention will continue, but on his/her side of the Atlantic, the Italian definitely has got his/her money's worth out of that particular subscription. 

New novel

New novel: "Billy Bob's Oasis" is well into production. Lots of characters and a water color by Peter Meadowsong will grace the cover. Ostensibly, the story is about a freelance writer and his competitor, both writing for the same magazine and both tasked to investigate the ins and outs of global warming and climate change. A murder will complicate their efforts and we'll have to see how that turns out.
