If I'm A Writer, Why Is It So Difficult To Keep This Darn Blog Current

So, I claim to be a writer.  I've written and sold, at a minimum, six million words over the past three decades.  So, can somebody please tell me why it is so difficult to keep this darn blog current?

At any rate, patience please.  The new book, The Mystery Of The Shaman's Secret should, according to my publisher, be out before Christmas in both paperback and electronic versions and the book about the on-going assault on rural lifestyles in America should hit the shelves in January or so.

For now, back to work on some articles I have due.

Upcoming Books

It's been really hard to keep the old bottom glued to the computer and get my "real" writing done. 

Nevertheless, I do have a new work of fiction in the hands of the publisher.  Now I have to work on cover design, final reads and all the boring and time consuming work following the writing of a book.  It is a historical mystery taking place in ancient China tentatively titled "The Mystery of the Shaman's Secret."  The book was co-authored with Ed Kaplan, one of my oldest and best friends who died while the book was still in a draft form.  I hope I did a good job finishing it up Ed!

Whatcom County's Pop-Environmental Activists Consider This To Be "Sprawl" As They Seek To End Small Scale Agriculture

Also, work continues, however slowly, on a work to be titled something like, You're Next!  The Assault On Traditional Rural Lifestyles In America.  The book will use the Whatcom County experience in exploring recent trends designed to remove the choice of a traditional rural lifestyle as millions wish to enjoy it and replace that choice with a requirement that most new residents in an area are to be forced to live in high density developments inside the cities of America.  I'm hoping the thing will be ready for the marketplace by fall.

I'm also hoping to have another short story to offer at no charge on this site sometime soon.  If you didn't read the last one yet feel free to scroll down through the blogs on this page.

I continue to write for farm and forestry magazines and to pursue a legal challenge to the removal of nearly 9,000 acres of land from the Whatcom County timber resource.  That effort is consuming huge amounts of time because I can't afford a lawyer so I have to write the challenges, briefs and other legal materials myself.  Learn more about that effort at  http://newsaboutthereconveyancechallenge.blogspot.com/.

In the meantime, you can buy Dangerous Game in paperback or electronic versions at Amazon.

Thanks for checking in.
