Okay … so I’ve finished the copyediting on RIPTIDE. Mostly. Except for the Spanish phrases, which I’m checking on with a native speaker. And a few other details. Nasty details. No worries, right? Forget I mentioned wrote about them, okay?
Now, I’m waiting with baited bated breath on pins and needles for the cover art to be finalized! I’ve seen preliminary covers and they look mighty promising, but we’re not quite there yet.

Hurray for James Garner!
You are awesome.
And not just playing Rockford, either.

Your mentioning his name got me to searching YouTube, and I found this really awesome tribute:

Maybe I’ll write a post about George one of these days, on some blog or other.
