Ep. 265: It’s Been a While

Bookbinding

This week…This Week? Yes, I have been a bit lax in my updating your podcast. My excuses range for personal and private to laziness with laziness taking the cake. 

However, We’re Back! And hopeful.

In the last four or five or six months I have made and sold a few yearly schedules, a music book, and repaired a music book. I also gave away a yearly schedule that starts in September and ends in March. Strange, but true.

Fiction

In Fiction I’ve written several short stories that are actually flash fiction plus a bunch of one-sentence stories; very different from novels. 

Just before November I began a novel. I finished it shortly after November but I don’t consider it a NaNoWriMo novel. It’s called The New Crucifixions. The leaders of different groups are assassinated by members of those groups because the groups want martyrs. 

One thing I knew would happen when I read Molly Bright to you in the last podcast all those months ago (May?)  is that I would discover misspelled words, mistaken words, less-than-ideal sections, and phrases, and sentences that didn’t play well with others. And, of course, I did.

Some I corrected before I recorded, some I edited out, and some I let stand during the recording but let stand in the final product but edited in the written record.

Does that mean I’m going to inflict the entire novel on you in aural form? No.

However…

An Audio Book

You do have the opportunity to listen to my novel Calvado: A Deadly Love Story. It’s about Calvado and Mack, two people in New York City whose lives interconnect in a strangely time-bending way; one ends up dead. Meanwhile, a crow chases a pimp from Brazil to New York. The pimp believes the crow is the reincarnation of a sex worker he beat to death. The pimp befriends Mack. 

You can find the first chapter up now by clicking here or by going to iTunes (or whatever Apple is calling their podcast/music service these days.) Or by clicking on the Audio Book of Calvado: A Deadly Love Story on your left-hand column.
