My new assistant, Joey. He critiques manuscripts by tasting them.

Fortunately, he declares my current revisions to be delicious!

My Year as a Gypsy is officially over. It was every bit the enlightening adventure I wanted it to be and gave me much wonderful clarity. I’m back in my hometown of Dayton, where I've bought a wonderful house to keep as my home base. My own belongings have been delivered from their year in storage, my new garden beds are full and growing, and my writing office is a dream!

My travels gave me much story fodder and material for many novels to come, and it's all recorded on my Occasional Blog.
