He was here just a second ago...

Yes, I know, it's been an obscenely long time since I've done one of these and all three of my fans have probably cried themselves to sleep, taken up heavy drinking and given me up for dead.

Fear not!
I am alive and well and the excuses for my long absence are convoluted and most likely boring to my readers.
I have not gone to jail, been kidnapped by aliens, worked as a roadie for Jimmy Buffett or been Anne Hathaway's love slave.

Work got busy, my son graduated high school and my writing schedule got crazy.

Both the good folks at http://pulpempire.com/ and http://www.blackcoatpress.com/ have added several anthologies to their schedules and being an idea junkie I couldn't stop myself from pitching stories, which kept getting accepted and next thing I knew, I had a huge 'to do' list and deadlines rushing at me like the Warner Brothers Road Runner.

It's been a fun challenge as all the anthologies have been themed, so I was given an idea and had to come up with an idea.
I have been writing about ( in no particular order): Dead American Presidents, a goddess going through a particularly violent mid-life crisis, a pair of French musketeers involved in a murder mystery, a classic French Pulp hero at the beginning of his career and then later in his life and teenage super heroes.

and that's just 2012.
Wait till you see the 'to do' list I've built up for 2013.

Hopefully there are a couple of you out there that have not given up on me and I am hoping to write these entries on a semi-regular basis.

As always, feel free to send me a comment. Say 'Hi' or make a suggestion for a future topic I can babble about.
