The View From My Hideout

I haven't had a lot to say lately and that's because I'm still busy being an author. I'm still tinkering with my seventh science fiction thriller, which has a working title, but it's a great big secret. But I'm mostly busy because Jonco Bugos, my literary alter ego, is busy working on his new novella, The Truth is a Lone Assassin.

And then I'm busy because of all the book marketing videos and promotional deals I recently "signed off on" and so on and so forth. But that only takes up part of my days. Most of my time is spent keeping out of sight and out of mind. Whose mind? Yours. Theirs. Everybody's.

Inspector Harry Callahan once told Captain Briggs in the movie Magnum Force that, "A man's got to know his limitations." and that's basically been my motto as I gaze down that long, dark tunnel into my seventh decade on Earth.

But, every now and then, I jab a stick out of my hiding hole and poke around. So, I may know my limitations as an aging indie author, but I can still poke a stick with the best of them. Or, at least I like to think so, and that's good enough for any ol' dawg who'd rather sleep than romp.

And, no, I don't like blogging anymore. In fact, I don't like it at all. I do it to keep from fading away before my time is up, like General MacArthur.
