News and Notices from the Writing Trenches #164

It’s been a while. Or so it seems. I was very busy finishing three manuscripts—one, Goin’ the Extra Mile, has just been published (see below)— while expecting to receive edits and cover ideas from Black Opal Books for my new novel The Last Humans (again, see below), so that I’ve been focusing on writing blog articles and short fiction pieces rather than collecting news items for this newsletter. My apologies. Hopefully this installment will make up for that! (I’ll try to keep it short.)
