Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated

Any day that I get to quote the immortal Mark Twain is a good day indeed. As of late I haven't been doing much quoting – of famous writers or anyone else for that matter;  I've hit a wall of sorts.

Over the last few months I've experienced the death of someone very close to me, unexpected delays in the release of my novel Grave Undertakings, and a roller coaster ride of peaks and valleys with my consulting business. It's all left me re-evaluating my priorities and trying to sort out where my dream of and passion for writing fits in.

In this search for balance I've relied heavily on a close friend and fellow author for support. I am certain this person will roll their eyes as they read this post. regardless, consider this my official thank you for the kick in the pants. You've helped me more than these simple words can express.

So in the words of the immortal rock band ACDC, I leave you with this upon my return to writing about things that go bump in the night – "I'm back in black"
