Hello, folks. Yes, I've been gone for ages. Life has been really really complicated, and it shows no signs of letting up. I'd like to get back into the groove of submitting works here, my fiction, my jewelry, and maybe even some art. I've started my drawing lessons, and the first efforts aren't as terrible as they might have been. For those of you interested in my writing career, I'm happy to say my romance novel is now available in German. I just had what could be my best short story come out in an Italian literary journal that publishes three editions for every volume. One edition features English-language writers, one Japanese, and one Italian. All the editions are in Italian, which makes it even more interesting. My latest novel is going slowly despite the good-natured efforts of my best friend and writing partner to make me pick up the pace.

Good to be back. Drop me a note and let me know how you've all been keeping.
