What Is Next


Hey Folks!!

I hope that you are all doing well, and are enjoying whichever one of my books that it is that you are currently reading, or have just finished reading.

So, what will be coming next, you might be asking yourselves.  Well, The Wolves series is over (mostly), and Nice Shootin’ Tex! was a stand-alone novel, so you are probably wondering what might come next. 

Well, I will be venturing into the realm over the paranormal again, as it is simply too much fun to leave alone!  I don’t have a name for the novel yet, but its working title is “Fabula”, which means fable in Spanish.  Is in in Spanish?  Kind of!  Well, 99% of it is in English, but some phrases are in Spanish.  Will it take place in Spain?  No, it will not.  It will take place in Puerto Rico - Arecibo, Puerto Rico as well as Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, which are two towns on the north/northwestern part of the island. 

So, why Puerto Rico, you might wonder.  I’ll tell you why.  I am of Puerto Rican descent (I don’t say that I am all-out Puerto Rican because I was born and mostly raised here in America, served in the U.S. military and will live and die here) and lived on the island for 6.5 years.  It was a mostly wonderful 6.5 years!  I loved seeing and living on the lands where my parents were born and raised.  I loved the language, the food and the customs as well.  I am crazy about my family members who still call the island their home.

But another thing that I am crazy about is the culture and the stories about what came before, and what might still exist in the land and in the waters that surround the island.  Sure, most people blow it off, but I don’t.  Doesn’t a little fantasy make day-to-day life more exciting?

In any case, Fabula is a love story between a girl and a boy, as well as a story of love between a girl and her family.  It is about making hasty decisions and living with those consequences.  It is about exchanges between family members that live long after the conversations die away. 

I would say that the book is at its 60% completion point at this time.  It will probably be ready for publishing sometime near winter of this year.  I will keep you all posted!

Again, thanks for reading!
