Sorry that I have not been keeping up with the blog.  In case you haven't noticed I have started submitting stories again.  I have posted more stories in the last six months than I did in the last ten years.  Catch them on SOL or LIT.  I don't know the reason for the sudden up tick in writing, but I will try and keep it up.  I have several more in the pipe so maybe, if you are still interested, you can pick them up. Thanks for looking in any event.
