It's still summer, but change is definitely in the air if not quite accepted in our hearts yet. Things are ending. Others are beginning. Things are standing still yet somehow always evolving. As for this blog post, call it an ode to all of that - and to nothing at all.
I continue to celebrate basketball triumph (Knicks in 5!) while preparing myself for the trials and tribulations of football as a Jets fan. I did a lot this summer, but not enough, never enough. Yet it will have to do, and also, there is still time for a little more.
Preparations are underway, though still at an early stage, for the publication of Second Shot. Details of a plan eventually come together will continue to be given to you here and elsewhere. Some public speaking of a literary nature is even planned for later this year. Stay tuned. Stay cool. Stay hydrated. Read on and find that some answered questions have been provided. Take the short trip to the bottom portion of this post and you will find the door to a second sneak peek at Second Shot (here's the first one). As always, happy reading.

Are you ready for that sneak peek from Second Shot yet?

This is not the full story, merely the bookmark.

@mudhousebooks I gave the robot in my computer a chance to narrate an excerpt from my novel. Verdict: Humans are vastly superior, but good try, good effort. Matters of Convenience is available in paperback, kindle and audiobook (narrated by a flesh & blood soul) at #Amazon. #booktok #indieauthorsoftiktok ♬ original sound - Roy 📚📚📚
