On Writers' Blogs and Other Doings

I've been away, partially because I moved and partially because I was using facebook and discovered a number of posts are missing and gone forever. I was pissed and went away to sulk. I\

I've been thinking about doing more writing and have even started a small description of the Hypatian system, including a secret base on Hypatian's larger moon, Cleopatra. It's called Over the Moon because it's on the far side.

But this is not what this post is about though I did want to say a little about my virtual disappearance.

I stopped by two writers' blogs. You can google them if you want. I am not going to fuss with links. What I learned reading them over for the last few days is that they go places, name drop and suck up. And, oh yes, talk about their published work endlessly.

I did stop by kriswrites.com to find out if there was another Retrieval Artist book. I've read all 6 plus the novella which started it all via audible.com and enjoy them very much. A new one is coming out next year. If comments were turned on, I would have asked that it be recorded as part of the print release. I will watch audible for it.

I've been reading a great deal, especially making use of my new overdrive account from my regional library for the blind The borrowing period is only a week so I need to focus, but on the other hand, books become available quickly even if several people have requested it.
