Where Have I Been Today?

My right hip is a mess, looks like I have a bad case of arthritis, so Patty has signed me up for a course in physical therapy: so that’s where I was this morning. And I have to go back tomorrow.

Well, I tried assorted supplements, tried walking it off: no dice. It’s got to be physical therapy. I’ve never been a fan of calisthenics etc., but now I have to do it, like it or not. Please pray that it works.

My therapist–she’s very strong, don’t mess with her–said, at the conclusion of this rather grueling session, that I can now sit down and enjoy a cigar with a clear conscience. So I did.

And the Lord blessed me with a new character who will appear in my next book: Ozias, King Betrayed. This is Irik, a humble scholar, a lover of the Scriptures, who will be the next high priest: Obann needs him. He will play a major role in the story.

For the time being, though, let’s see if I can get this blog moving.

The Next ‘Ozias’ Book

6 Facts About King Arthur – Was He Real? What Happened To Lancelot And  Guinevere? | HistoryExtra

All I know about this book is its title–Ozias, Prince Enthroned–and that it’s the second book of a trilogy. That’s all I’ve got so far, plus bits and pieces left undone in the first book, Ozias, Prince in Peril.

It’s been my custom, in writing the novels in my Bell Mountain series, to wait for the Lord to give me the story He wants me to tell. I can’t make it happen, can’t force it. And it hasn’t happened yet.

Ozias lived some 2,000 years before his descendant, King Ryons, and some 1,000 before the destruction of Obann’s Empire in the Day of Fire. He was the last king of Obann, for two thousand years, chosen by the grace of God; and his throne was ultimately taken from him by his enemies. Obann had to wait for two millenia before another king was anointed.

I’d very much like to get going on this, the days are flashing by; but I have to wait. Sometimes it’s a dream that gets me started. Or an idea or an image breaks into something else I’m doing at the time. A whole unwritten novel stands between now and the third book of the trilogy: Ozias, King Betrayed. I do have a better idea of what that one is about.

The Ocean of Time is waiting to be published–early next year, I hope.

So I wait. I have yet to wait in vain… but I’m still not used to it.
