In this writing I'm fresh back from a writing convention with a lot of new ideas. I hope they will help others as well.
▣ Next Events/Next Book

I had a great booksigning in Chillicothe at Bookworld this past Saturday. I met some very nice people and thank everyone who dropped by to see me. I will be there again on August 8th 4:00 to 7:00.
August 20th I'll be at Bowen House in Logan.
Today I'm thinking about my next book. No, I don't mean Bite of the Serpent which is 2/3 completed but the one after that which will be called Dream Buster, I believe. I'm not sure where that book will be set yet but Wilmington, Chillicothe, and Lancaster are in the running.You may wonder why I'm thinking of the next book when I'm not even finished with the one i'm working on. That does seem strange but I find I do this almost every time. At this point I start a file for ideas I have on the next book while I'm continuing with the one I'm working on. It would upset me if I had ideas but refused to think of them because I was working on something else, but by letting the ideas come through and recording them in a seperate folder, I feel safe that I haven't lost anything and then I can go back to my current novel with a clear mind.
Meanwhile, I will be taking a mini vacation starting tomorrow and lasting until Thursday or Friday.
