My male European wall lizard disappeared for six months.
I really should have posted this yesterday. I find myself preoccupied, lately.
We don’t have a comment contest going just now, but we do have “Name a Character.” It’s gotten off to a slow start: I wonder if I phrased it too vaguely. Betcha I did.
Well, Patty and I have to go grocery-shopping, so enjoy the lizard story. If you’ve never had pet lizards, you’ve missed something.
Physical therapy this morning, and waiting for various doctors to schedule me for chemotherapy (not looking forward to that!).
But at least it’s a sunny day, and I took advantage of it to set up outside and crank our four more pages of Ozias, Prince Enthroned. A major battle is shaping up, but I think Maressa’s lost her nerve. She wants a parley; her allies are infuriated.
In case you were wondering where I get this material, I can tell you that I’ve patterned this looming battle after Hannibal’s fight at Lake Trasimene. I’ve even named the terrain “Lake Trasm.”
I’m fast approaching the climax of the book and don’t know what I’ll do with myself once it’s finished. Well, I do have to type it all. And I have to finish editing Ozias, Prince in Peril. It feels like an age since I wrote it.
And Ocean of Time will be coming out any day now–so dream up some gang-busting names for as yet uncreated new characters. Contest winner gets an autographed book.
