My father-in-law passed Wednesday night. There’s been a lot of sadness and a lot of logistics to pull together. Thank God for professional funeral directors. Today I’ve taken a little time to get back on the writing horse. It was hard starting, but once I got going it was a good way of taking my mind off of things. The novel stands at 67,500 words.

If you’d ever met my father-in-law you’d know he was a sweet and affectionate man. He was pushing 92, but really there’s no good time to lose someone you love.
