Spring is usually a busy time for me and this past spring was no different. I have spent the last month preparing and completing my annual recurrent airline pilot training. For those of you who have read Beautiful Hardship, you should know that I'm not a fan of the simulator! With that taking up much of my time, my current novel Lapse of Reason was shelved for the time being. My third novel which was to be released early next year has sort of gone from a novel to a screen play. It was brought to my attention that it would make a better movie than a book so I have elected to write the screen play instead of publishing it. I will soon be kicking in doors in Hollywood trying to sell it!
Recently, I purchased the rights to Beautiful Hardship as I was not happy with the publisher's lack of involvement in the marketing end of it. I have elected to re-release it as a second edition with my current publisher so it will soon be available on kindle as well as the usual places such as Amazon and Borders. It will always be available on my website. I am also trying to set up a book signing in Milwaukee to coincide with a feature article of me in Milwaukee Magazine to be out soon. I will post as soon as I have a date set.
As for my personal time, I have taken up biking. I recently purchased a road racing bicycle and have been putting myself through the rigors of 40-50 mile bike rides with the intention of increasing them to 100 miles as I'm planning a ride to my home state of Iowa in late summer. If I could master the art of clipping and unclipping from my pedals, I would consider it progress. If you see a short, bald guy laying underneath a very expensive bike at a stop sign, please help. I obviously forgot to unclip from the pedals!
