Personal Update from Dan – Plus a Little Book News
Haven’t been very active on Social Media since about March, but it’s not really because of the Covid-19 thing (although like everyone else, our lives have been dramatically affected by Covid). So, I thought I’d give my reading fans and friends a little update.
Thankfully, so far none of us have caught the virus (including our kids and grandkids), and we’re following all the recommended precautions. I happen to be in the high-risk category (for health reasons), so I’m being extra careful (and will likely have to do this till they come up with a vaccine).
The real reason I’ve been “out of touch” the past few months can be seen in the Pic. Just so happens, this whole Covid Pandemic happened right during the time we had decided to get our house ready to sell (after 34 years) and downsize into a nice little cottage home in a 55-Plus community nearby. Most of my time since March has been spent either helping to get the old house ready or fixing up the new place (which we bought in April). In between, I’ve also been doing research on my next novel.
God was good to us, and we sold our house the first weekend it went on the market AND for the price we were asking. We closed on it and officially moved into the new place a couple of weeks ago. First thing we bought with the money (after paying off the new place)? Check out our little red golf cart!
We’ve still got some work to do on the new place (updating the kitchen, floors, etc), but I finally have enough time to get back to my writing in earnest.
About a week ago, I started writing the long-awaited sequel to my award-winning, bestselling novel, The Deepest Waters. Wrote it 10 years ago, so it’s taken me some time to get reacquainted with all the characters and storylines. But I did, and I’m loving the new direction for the sequel, which I’m calling The Longest Road. Hope to have it released by this Thanksgiving.
Well, you all stay safe and keep praying for this country (crucial days ahead). And hopefully, I’ll be keeping more in touch.
Have a great weekend,
Dan

BACK COVER BLURB:
Lieutenant Joe Boyd takes his family on a much-needed camping trip in the beautiful lakefront woods outside of town. But a leisurely trail walk with Chance, their new dog, goes haywire when he breaks loose. When they finally reach him, he’s digging furiously. What the dog finds, turns their vacation upside down and launches Joe and his partner into a puzzling cold case homicide from the late 1980s. As they begin to unravel the evidence—aided by two women from a local writer’s group—things point to an unlikely set of culprits. Their identities—if known—would shock the entire town. Some people will do anything to keep a thirty-year-old secret from seeing the light of day.

Some Encouraging Words for a Time Like This
I thought with all the Coronavirus-craziness going on, we could use some positive 
perspectives. Here are some ageless but very relevant words of wisdom from one of my favorite fiction and non-fiction authors of all time, CS Lewis.
This was written by Lewis 72 years ago. As you read, just replace “atomic bomb” with “coronavirus.”
In one way, we think a great deal too much of the atomic bomb. “How are we to live in an atomic age?” I am tempted to reply: “Why, as you would have lived in the sixteenth century when the plague visited London almost every year, or as you would have lived in a Viking age when raiders from Scandinavia might land and cut your throat any night; or indeed, as you are already living in an age of cancer, an age of syphilis, an age of paralysis, an age of air raids, an age of railway accidents, an age of motor accidents.”
In other words, do not let us begin by exaggerating the novelty of our situation. Believe me, dear sir or madam, you and all whom you love were already sentenced to death before the atomic bomb was invented: and quite a high percentage of us were going to die in unpleasant ways. We had, indeed, one very great advantage over our ancestors—anesthetics; but we have that still. It is perfectly ridiculous to go about whimpering and drawing long faces because the scientists have added one more chance of painful and premature death to a world which already bristled with such chances and in which death itself was not a chance at all, but a certainty.
This is the first point to be made: and the first action to be taken is to pull ourselves together. If we are all going to be destroyed by an atomic bomb, let that bomb when it comes find us doing sensible and human things—praying, working, teaching, reading, listening to music, bathing the children, playing tennis, chatting to our friends over a pint and a game of darts—not huddled together like frightened sheep and thinking about bombs. They may break our bodies (a microbe can do that) but they need not dominate our minds.”
