I've been busy.

         Sorry for not being here for a while. It's been a rough few months.
After the Southwest Florida Writers conference last April, I decided to check up on how my grandson was doing with is homeschooling. I'm having a moan here.
​His parents were supposed to be doing it. My Hayden was in the third grade and couldn't possibly do it on his own. 
          Sitting down with Hayden one day I discovered that he was six months behind in his work. At that point I took over his homeschooling. We worked together everyday and finally finished. 
         I was also put in charge of the 2020 Southwest Florida Writers Conference. It was now up to me to recruit the agents and editors from New York to come to the conference. Getting them to say they would come was the easy part. Having them return the signed contract was the hard part. There was also the local faculty to round up and get contracts back from. We would be having workshops and I had to try and make up the schedule. Needless to say it did my head in, but it's organized now and I think it's going to be great.
            In July, I ended up in the hospital. I was having terrible stomach pains. I got three different answers. Can anyone tell me how I could gain seven pounds in a week on nil by mouth? I'm fine now that goodness.
            Back to homeschooling at the end of August. We switched to Connections Academy which is accredited and a lot harder.
              Well that was my summer.
​              Along the way I had my book, Blood Orange, made into an audiobook. I've put the first chapter up on YouTube. https://amzn.to/2GbzRap I'd like you to listen to it and tell me what you think. I also have a free giveaway going on with Kingsumo. I have free codes to giveaway for Blood Orange on audio. I only have 50 to give away to enter to be one of the first 50.
