Steve, great to meet a fellow blogger who shares a passion for writing. Congratulations on publishing your first novel…have you got another one in the works? My second novel is going to print in a couple of weeks. It’s even more exciting the second time around!

Hi Beverley
I’ve barely begun my next novel, though I have a few on hand that need some editing. I’m excited about publishing so I’ve been blogging in order to gain an audience. Another week, and it will be ready to go. Thanks for your well wishes!

Thank you. My wife did the portrait and I think it’s supposed to make me look regal, draped in a velvet robe. In fact, it’s an old hoodie that probably needed washing. She’s a wonderful artist, but she was supposed to make me look like Robert Redford, not like I was wearing something Redford might wear.

Your writing flows so easily. It is a pleasure to read. Your first novel intrigues me, I am looking forward to reading it.
I am also in love with your photography. What you do with flowers amazes me. The way they dance. You are a talent all around.
