Starting a new book - The Anubis Gates
A friend suggested this book to me:
The Anubis Gates by Tim Powers
My friend was enthusiastic about the book and assured me I would like it.
I love the anticipation of getting into a new author. I am totally unfamiliar with Mr. Powers, except that I noticed he works in several genres. Jumping across genres is supposed to be bad for book sales because it confuses the Amazon algorithm, but I admire someone who does it unabashedly (i.e., without a pseudonym(pseudoname?)).
I have considered moving from Sci-fi / time travel to mystery and/or computer crime (my one claim to expertise). After I see what Mr. Powers had done, I'll have to revisit this idea and perhaps make the leap across genres.
What do _you_ think?
Cheers,
Kim

Vacation to Port St Joe, Florida
Martha and I just got back from a week's vacation with Martha's son and the Grands.
Port Saint Joe is an interesting place, It's on the Florida panhandle, but the coastline runs north/south. So you ca Martha and I just got back from a week's vacation with Martha's son and the Grands.
Port Saint Joe is an interesting place, It's on the Florida panhandle, but the coastline runs north/south. So you can stand on the beach and look west for the sunset, just like in California. And it's a great place to snorkel.
It's in Eastern Time Zone, but just barely. You have to turn off the date/time autoupdate, because the time will jump back and forth from ETZ to Central Time Zone, depending on what cellular tower your phone connects to. We had some interesting discussions until we figured that out.
I'm working on a new series called "The Time Patriot". It will be in episode form, with each short episode being around 35-45K words. I haven't tried this before, but it's been great fun. I'm debating about whether it should be Kindle-only, but we'll see.
I'm trying to have it available by September 1.
Have a great week!
