God howls with laughter at earthly plans, you know?

I published a bunch of my older books in e-book format with Open Road, which is great and has tons of hard to find older books available there.

The Great Recession is not imaginary, and the effects loom large. There was an article in the NYT about the galloping death rate among white men in middle age. Higher than among any other demographic, etc. Mostly death by drugs, alcohol, or suicide. Many of them rural. My feeling is that it's many people who haven't been able to get back into the work force. Reg Morse is an example of the problem.

I had a talk with the president of my publisher, and he averred that e-books are dropping off . So I wonder if the potential advantages are really going to happen as quickly as they ought.

I judged about a zillion awards this year so Ive been reading a lot of books that just came out.

There’s something really rich and powerful in not talking about what you need to talk about sometimes.
