This and That

Dear Readers,

Things have slowed down a bit on Kalika Rising but I have completed half the first draft. Though I hope it won't sidetrack me for more than a few days, I'm currently writing out the first chapter of a drama about the Indiana State Prison South in the 1800s that is in the vein of Moll Flanders. I've been collecting historical facts about the time and events I want to novelize -- it's pretty horrific all on its own. When I have more info, I'll let you know.

Other than that, it's been a long dreadful haul with a sick hubby. First flu, then bronchitis, then asthma and now it appears it has become pneumonia (or it has been that all along and he's been misdiagnosed). In any case, after three weeks, he is still sick and it's hard to focus too much with the worries of a sick hubby on my mind.

We went to NM for my nephew's wedding to his long-time girlfriend. The weather was rainy on the way out, but tolerable the rest of the trip. We couldn't stay long since we didn't have the funds or time for more than a couple days there (6 days of the trip were spent on traveling to and fro).

Take care everyone.
