Here I am at the end of August wondering what happened to the last month or so. Again. The good news is that I've been busy. First there was my youngest daughter's wedding to get to. That led into a short holiday for myself and my wife, but the getting from Frankfurt to London turned into something of a nightmare from which we are still feeling the aftershocks. One day, perhaps, I shall write a book about it. Nobody will believe it though ...
Once we got home again, things needed dealing with, and that certainly kept me busy for most of this month. First I am preparing to deliver a paper at a conference in Belgrade. This will be my second visit there, and as with all my visits to the Balkan and other Eastern European countries, I have found the places fascinating and the people, warm, welcoming and generous. When I get a moment I'll have to post some pictures and some comments on this latest visit.
More good news though is that the fifth Harry Heron Adventure has been accepted by Indiego ePublishing and will hopefully appear in print and on all the electronic reader formats in time for Easter next year. Getting the MS into final shape to go has taken a little time as there were a couple of things I needed to 'tidy up' with regard to formatting and continuity, and now it will need the editor's views and adjustments as well. With that underway, I've started developing the sixth in the series and we'll have to wait and see where that goes and when it is ready to be sent out for consideration. In between I am still revising my life of St Patrick to take on board the critiques I've had on it.
So, in between, I'll try to keep you, my readers, updated on my blog. Now, an extra day in the week might be useful, I wonder where I can get one ...
