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.

Meanwhile, here’s a great rule for storytellers from Paul Downie. And I quote from his blog: Robert Holmes First Law for Deranged 51st Century Villains: “Never Give a Simple Order when you get the chance for a full-on Rant … ”

LOL! Great scene from Doctor Who. With Tom Baker, one of my favorite doctors ever, ever! :)

And, BTW, you know the indie film seminar I contemplated taking? Well, I’m going for it! :-D

Now, let’s not get too carried away. I doubt that I’ll end up being a great big director/producer/genius like this guy. Ha ha ha …

But, if I’m really lucky, maybe I could film a detective story with a PI as awesome as this guy played by an actor whose memoirs were recently published.

Because I love Rockfish Rockford. :)

And he has some of the craziest most interesting friends.

But his dad is was such a cool guy.

Hurray for James Garner! :) You are awesome.

And not just playing Rockford, either. ;)
