Wading Through the Bog

I'm back to this blog after lapsing for a while. My writing has been hampered by technical glitches for the last few months. While I've struggled with home issues and pending excavation around our home, my writing has been dampened, as well: like a garden too waterlogged and sun-deprived to blossom. The buds of story have been compressed within my psyche like malnourished flower buds. Literally and figuratively, there's been too much rain, and I've felt bogged-down.
However, things are improving. My laptop has been purged of viruses and files that would not open have been recovered. Story scenes are forming and soon will find life on the page. Please bear with me if you follow this blog. Soon I'll write something more interesting!
Progress: My book, The Flower Eater, is being re-issued, with a much improved back cover which will now include snippets from the wonderful Kirkus Review I got. Also, the back cover will now have a briefer description and will give away less of the plot detail. I feel a huge relief to finally have the cover corrected! It will take 10-15 days for the new version to be available through the various outlets, but if anyone owns the book, you have a first-edition copy. Those copies may someday be worth something as collectors' editions. Here's hoping!
Also: my website has been in limbo, but I'm addressing that soon. Meanwhile, the plot of the sequel is forming unseen within my mind. The sodden earth is warming under the sun's encouraging rays, and soon those flower-buds of story will unfold again. My thanks to those who sometimes stop, in the midst of their own journeys, to view the garden of my words. You are like the sunshine!
