I have a very small assignment that will infuse a good chuck of cash into my budget. It will be over before the week is up.

I have two short stories in the works:

"Murder on the Feng Shui Express" needs a bit more research, but I am enjoying it. I had a surprise this morning about Jonathan Heller and his life just a bit. It works. Nice when characters can surprise you.

"The Elixir of Tears” is a fun gender bending story about a young girl named Devon that is pretending to be a cabin boy on board a magical pirate ship. It is funny to write a story casting pirates in a positive light after my novel.

Feedback is maddeningly slow for Dylan and the Dream Pirates, but I keep hearing page numbers and "I'm loving it." That's a good sign.

Honest opinions are always good, especially if they aren't presented in a way as to hurt feelings.

I suspect you are smart enough and mature enough to do so. That's the real mark of a good beta-reader.

If I do present them in a way that hurts feelings be sure to let me know. I don't ever intend to. But I know I come across that way in print sometimes.

You have the past been really abrasive, but we've all grown over the last couple of years.
