I’ve been on a reading jag for several months now. Often reading two books at once. Usually one on my Kindle and one physical book out of my personal library down a couple of rooms from my bedroom. Decided this week to get back on a TV series watching jag as well. Usually don’t do the two together, books and movies both. I’m starting back with the middle of season three of 24 which is where I stopped about a month or two ago. Today I watched Jaws and North By Northwest.

There are so many books to read and re-read, and so many fantastic series and movies to re-watch, I may not live long enough to experience them all again. But I’m going to do my best (And here I’m going to use a famous cliché–Or die trying, she says.)

Then there is plain old living to do. Washing the car, cleaning house, taking out the trash, eating, sleeping, taking care of the pets. All that.

But what about the writing? Why hasn’t she talked about the writing?

Well, we’ve been to two fantastic comic cons this month. The Greater Austin Comic Con in Cedar Park, and the Corpus Christi Comic Con in , you guessed it, Corpus Christi. While my books didn’t sell like hotcakes (and if we’d been selling hotcakes we’d have made a bundle), we sold enough to make us happy. But this still isn’t writing, it’s marketing.

I’m taking a short hiatus. To think about my books. I know what I’m going to do, but I’m pretending otherwise.

I have several series going that need a third book (and in one case a fourth), but only two of them have readers. If I was really smart I’d abandon the rest of them and concentrate on those two, but I’m not going to. I’m going to proceed as I originally planned and write book three in all the series (and book four in the one). The only one I’ll be leaving alone is Arroyo, and who knows, maybe I’ll continue that story by and by.

So, Browner is up first. I’ll get seriously to work on it next week. 

After I’ve watched a few more movies.

And for the month of July, ARROYO is on sale at LOGOS off the square in Lockhart. Book People in Austin has BROWN, a mystery novel by G. L. Rix (that’s me!)
