August 1st and it's time for some progress reports on the novel(s) front. The second one continues to progress but much more slowly than I had desired (though not really any more slowly than I had anticipated). Soon I'll release the tentative title. 
Is it possible I've actually written three hundred pages or so but I'm still on page 186? Every time I open the document, no matter how much I write it seems like I've been on that page forever! It's starting to feel a little Twilight Zone-esque.
I haven't lined up a whole lot of events for the summer time because I really am trying to focus on getting this draft completed. I already have some copy editors lined up (thank you to the talented Lou Allin for volunteering - read her books; I've only read one but it was marvelous and I plan to read the rest).
I was approached by the Coquitlam Public Library who has asked me to do an evening session, tentatively scheduled for Thursday, November 1st at 7:00 pm at the Poirier branch. I'll have more details as the date approaches but mark it on your calendars (and post it on Facebook!).
I also pitched the book to a movie company. It's very preliminary - they're just reading it to see if they like it but keep your fingers crossed and keep good thoughts going. I'll post here if I hear anything.
And don't forget to check your local listings for True Pulp Murder. The episode called Straight from the Heart will feature me talking about Deadly Lessons and how it relates to the murder being discussed during that episode. Much more to come.
