I turned my new manuscript back to the copyeditor after updating the materials to reflect the latest literature. It should be ready for press within a couple of months. I envisioned this piece as far back as 2008, and started working on it around 2012. At that time, I joked it should be called "How I Spent My Summer Vacation," but no one found that funny, especially my family, who suffered through my traveling with a well-used laptop.
The topic? Hey, I've kept you in the dark this long, so I'm not about to let the topic out now. Besides, my last book was about the nature of deceit. Would you trust me?

Political science has explored how we bend reality to support our tribes. I ignored much of the problem but will cover some of these issues in my upcoming book. (Sorry, no hints yet, but it will be out in a few months!)
My last blog entry, Wolves in Sheep's Clothing, follows the trumpet fish's swimming habits that use the movements of innocuous species to sneak up on their prey.

Most of the books that enthrall me involve places I really wouldn't want to live in. The universe of Silent Consent, for example, has a dystopian setting the characters must overcome. Mira Grant's world of zombies is captivating, especially her Parasite series, but I wouldn't want to be part of that world. And although Robert Harris's Fatherland and Second Sleep make wonderful settings for storylines, I most definitely would not want to live in those worlds.

Summer is ending now, but I can tell you how I spent my time reading and listening to books over the summer. I like to bounce among genres, so I read A History of the Human Brain: From the Sea Sponge to CRISPR by Bret Stetka. I loved it. I was familiar with most of the content, so it was light reading for me.
Hooflandia by Heidy Goody and Ian Grant continues the adventures of Jeremy Colvenhoof, the devil (literally) stuck in a suburb of Birmingham with neighbors more dysfunctional than he is. It's book 7 in the franchise.
A friend recommended I read Anthony Horowitz's work, so I gave Raven's Gate a spin. I enjoyed it, but I loved Robert Sawyer's Quantum Night and The Oppenheimer Alternative. and Beggars in Spain by Nancy Kress (also recommended by a friend.)
