To those who have been asking

[charles]

Just a short note to those who have been asking. First of all, thank you so much for asking. This response is probably the best for now and I hope to elaborate at the appropriate time. At that time you will have the opportunity to read what it is I have been busy with for quite a while.
Once again, thank you for asking and having cared enough to ask.

RECAP
Yes, I am currently working on two books.
One (God willing) comes out this year and is a collaboration of efforts.

The second book is larger in scope and will hopefully come out next year.
It is something I have been working on for a while.

Neither work is remotely like any other recent works by other authors. From what I have read recently these new authors are such a significant talent and I quite simply am not. My hat is taken off to them and my admiration soars.

I hope that this helps to answer some of your questions.

Once again - thank you so much and

be well
be ever so well

Ohhhh, now I know why you stated the guests on this site would put an author out of business. I thought you were commenting on 44 and his books, now I understand..

How exciting, you are an outstanding writer, you captivate me in your style. I an sure it will be an instant hit, best wishes...( so I guess we shouldn't pass it around on the site).
Keep posting, love your stories.

Cindyo, thanks for the compliments. I like to test my work and put out "The beginning" which is a draft of the first chapter in the book. The finished product is much longer.

Yeah, I was thinking about 44 and his book and for a short moment felt bad for him and then thought about the fact that people loved his stories so much that they passed them on. The practice started in the times of Chaucer and it is the highest form of praise, and he merits it.

be well
