Yipe, my apologies! I didn't realize it had been so long since I'd posted.

The last part of the semester was wrapped up in trying to finish "Kindred of Darkness," Asher/Ysidro #5, and to get started on the next Ben January book (and to do two stories for the website...). With family coming into town for our annual reunion things sort of got away from me.

Other than having way too much work to do, I also started taking drawing classes. It's wonderful to be working from a model again: I haven't done this kind of drawing for many years. I'm a fairly good amateur, but I remember making the conscious decision, Did I want to devote my time and energy to writing, or to art? I chose writing, but the art has always been in the background. Now that I have the opportunity to study with a phenomenal teacher, I'm doing so... not the way I'd do if I planned to make this my profession, or even my first priority. But, I'd like to be a really good artist, and I know I have it in me.

I'll try to be better about posting here as well as the little update squibs I've done on Facebook. It's so wonderful simply to be getting enough sleep, which makes me feel much more like myself.
