A New Computer (Groan!)

I have a new computer. Heaven help me!

They changed everything. So at this writing I don’t know how to send email, or reply to email–and this new keyboard is the worst example of built-in silliness I’ve ever seen. Two days ago I could do all those things, and more. But now I can’t. I’ll have to learn everything all over again.

Wouldn’t it be great if they made cars like that? If every time they brought out a new model, you had to go back to driving school?

(I absolutely hate, loathe, and abhor this keyboard!!! It was obviously designed for elves, not human beings.)

All I can ask is that my dozens of readers please bear with me while I try to orient myself…

Ta-dah!

OK, I have finally finished writing Book #5 of my Bell Mountain Series, The Fugitive Prince. Meanwhile, #3, The Thunder King, is almost ready for release, and artist Kirk DouPonce has been tapped to create a cover for #4, The Last Banquet. I love the work he’s done so far.

The arc of the story demands another two books, at least. I wonder what they’ll be like!

Meanwhile, readers of this blog might enjoy my articles on News With Views, and maybe even the postings on my “Playground Player Chess Forum” on chessgames.com . There have been some pretty sharp discussions on that forum, none of which have anything to do with chess.
