Snow, Don't You Know

We got a bit more of it today.

Okay I am ready for Spring

Damn, it's cold here today. Promises to stay cold all week. And the weather forecasters are talking snow, too. Good day to stay in and write. That said, March will be here soon. I will be most happy to emerge from this cold cave into the warmth!

Just a bit of outdoors fun

A Couple of Announcements

Since this is a blog and I am a writer, I guess a couple of announcements about what I'm doing currently would not be out of order. And if they are out of order, well, who will notice?

Anyway, I retired from my government job and am currently focused on writing. I've made a bit of progress on a new Richard Paladin book, and I'm about to release another book. It's titled A Feast of Famine and deals with an armed, humanitarian intervention in a small African nation beset by anarchy and starvation. I think it's a dark comedy. Guess I'll see what others think if anyone reads it and comments.

We'll see how long this "David, writer, retired government wonk" gig lasts. You, dear readers, can prolong this state of affairs by buying my books, or hurry me back to the government sector by ignoring me. Your call!

As for Falco and Puck, they're getting a lot more walks with "David, writer, retired government wonk" around more of the time. They're hoping this lasts awhile!

Rock It!

Puck and Falco jumped atop one of their favorite rocks to shout out a message to the world. "Read it!' 

I think they're talking about my short story, 
Sudden Addiction.

"Remember what the door mouse said . . . "

Oh, wait, that's from White Rabbit. This is a white squirrel.

First one I've ever seen. 


      "Go ask Alice . . ."

Staying Warm When It's F-f-f-f-reezing Outside!

Twenty-one degrees Fahrenheit was the high today. 
Time for a two-dog afternoon!

Happy New Year from Falco and Puck!

Although Falco points out he's not real comfortable with change...
