So I have VERY BIG NEWS! News which you might have already heard if you follow me other places, but VERY BIG none-the-less! I have gotten the rights to the Walker Papers back!!! Now, I’ve learned that this is a degree of Writer Speak, so let me translate: I never *lost* the rights, per se. When a publisher buys your book to publish, they *acquire* the rights, which then can, after a certain period of time, revert to the author. It doesn’t happen automatically: the author has to ask, and…

Happy New Year!
Lord, what a year that was. There were some highlights. Going to London with a girlfriend to see James McAvoy star in a stage performance of Cyrano was DEFINITELY one of them.
