Late Monday night, the second book went off to the publisher. The books are now in production and should debut in October.

I've spent the last 14 months with , and the two manuscripts.

Now it is time to decide what is next but, perhaps, a few days off first.

Best thing I read today:

"...but then he is a poet, which I take to be only one remove from a fool."
"True," said Dupin..."although I have been guilty of certain doggerel myself."

(Me, too, Dupin. 👀)

Reading instead of & today.

My word of the day: wraith.
Not one I use often so I spent some time researching the fullest meaning of the word.

This definition from Oxford English Dictionary (on line) is exactly what I'm looking for:  

b. An immaterial or spectral appearance of a living being, frequently regarded as portending that person's death; a fetch.

Glad to see used it.
