…With Me

The Hills of Circleville  and Wicked Dreams have been doing pretty well.   I have been keeping busy with writing and practicing on my new fiddle, Amelia.  Screech doesn't mind the rest and she will always be a part of the family.  Serving my second term as President of the Circleville Downtown Business Association is keeping me busy as well as my job at Berger Health System.  I have set aside my manuscript for Sometimes They Fly  and have begun writing something completely different.  I'll keep you posted as it moves along.  Right now I am very excited about it.
