Please excuse the mess

A few updates:

• Past-Due Pastorals is, as the Monty Python skit posited, an ex-parrot. I have a few copies at home and a couple of them floating around in Billings bookstores, and once those are gone, that’s it. The reason is simple: The essay collection, while warmly received by those who have read it, simply didn’t gain much traction. I tossed off the book while I was dipping my toes into the publishing world. Now that I’m fully immersed, my concentration is firmly on the fiction.
• Six-Hundred Hours of a Life is also unavailable, albeit temporarily. There will be some exciting news attached to its reappearance, so stay tuned …
• Work continues on the new project (tentative title: Gone to Milford), although it’s been slow of late. I’ll get back on it with full vigor next week.

Until then …
