Kevin,
I hope you are well. With no update in about a year I wonder if your novel has distracted you or you’ve lost interest in writing. Either way, I hope life is treating you well.
A fan.

Renpet,
I’ve been distracted by a move and work out the ears. I’ll get back to posting soon.
Are you writing in a different genre? Your voice is amazing.
Kevin
Thanks, Kevin! Today followed up last year’s note of your MainlyPrompts, and quickly found “Legacy”. Powerful! You’ve dared to publish the sort of thing I only scribble and save w/o sharing. You affirm the paradox we live in; great!
Are you in Prague now? Do you know (all) the work of Karel Capek? (Not just RUR & War with the Newts.) The Insect Play; Krakatit; Three Novels…. He was with us Now, 80 years ago. Thrive, there & here! Cheers! Ed
Ed!!! Long time, … You picked a weird one to like, didn’t you? I had to get the ice pick back into my stories. Everyone in the writing group expected it.
Each of these stories were written in 30 minutes in my Thursday night group, except for “The Fire”, which was autobiographical and my intro to writing. I’m going to collect 30 or so stories into a short-short story collection and publish it this Spring. I have longer pieces in the works, but everything on hold while I work on a screenplay treatment for a client. It’s a Christmas story, and so positioned for next year’s holiday season.
I hope all is well with you. Are you keeping busy? Doing historical stuff? Writing?
Kevin
