Happy Monday! I can’t believe another year has almost vanished and Christmas is sneaking up. Yes indeed, it’s the time of year when these shockingly rotund, chalky, “beings” emerge and take over my mom’s house.. some are even naked with the exception of a hat and scarf !

….stay tuned for some video footage on their take over… ;-)

This year however will be a very quiet one and I’m planning on spending most of my time writing. Speaking of which, I’m still reading through a couple of forensics books, also reading “Inside The Criminal Mind” which is an interesting read and I just ordered another writer’s reference book: “A guide To Wounds and Injuries” to round out my research. Aside from that I’m currently reading “Savage” by Richard Laymon.

What are you reading right now? (yes you can add comments here, go ahead give it a try)

So far my novel seems to be coming together nicely, it’s taken a few unexpected twists and turns but I’m moving along at a decent pace.:-) Ideas for a second book keep creeping in and naturally I try to push them out of my head while I work on my first book but I end up jotting down ideas here and there anyway.
