Have you read "The Tiger's Wife" yet? It's number 67 on Amazon's top 100 list. "Bossypants" is number three, and a couple of diet books sit at number one and number nine. That alone is an omen. Here's my review of "The Tiger's Wife."

Along with my "Jock Talks" satire e-books, Vanilla Heart Publishing has released some wonderful short stories, also at only 99 cents. I especially liked the stories by Robert Hays and Smoky Trudeau Zeidel. Here are my reviews of Hays' Equinox and Zeidel's Goodbye, Emily Dickinson.

I continue to work slowly on my sequel to "The Sun Singer," Sarabande.
As I write, I discover more and more about the heroine's journey. I write about that on my "Sarabande's Journey" weblog. Recent posts there are And Now the Story Lives Inside You and The Light of Nature.

If you're more in a satirical frame of mind, you might like my recent "Morning Satirical News" post If Only I Dreamt of Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair.

Meanwhile, if you live in or near Jackson County, Georgia, I hope you will visit the Crawford W. Long Museum's new Civil War Medicine Exhibt. It opens at the museum in Jefferson Friday, April 15 (10-5) and Saturday, April 16 (10-4). At 2 p.m. on Friday, authors Barry Brown and Gordon Elwell will be signing their book "Crossroads of Conflict: Guide to Civil War Sites in Georgia."

A consultant for the museum, my wife Lesa, is in charge of the new exhibits. I've been there as a laborer to help place objects in the display cases.

I hope you are well, reading a lot, and perhaps writing a lot as well.
