2017

First, a Happy New Year to everyone.

Next, a bit of reflection. 2017 saw me publish three books (Dream 3, The Master’s Compass, and Zerk), and enter into retirement.

Three books is quite a lot considering that I had a major creative block in the first part of the year, but Zerk was a stalled project that an idea suddenly unlocked; I hope to equal it in 2018.

Retirement was not the shock I had thought it would be; after over thirty years in law enforcement and a job since 1974 it was extremely nice to not have to set an alarm. They always tell you ‘you”l miss it’, but it four months now and not only haven’t I missed it, I’ve had exactly one bored day, and that was probably due to the flu.

One thing I have learned over the years is to stop and look back now and then. The future may never come, but the past is always with you.

That would make a great fortune cookie, I think.
