Just to notify this site’s visitors that my book and website are not quite finished, book title: Till Death Do Us Part: Dealing With Brain Injury and Physical Aggression.  To be available in the Westbow Press catalog, Amazon, BarnesandNobles.com. . .  Contacted my editor and publisher late last week, it’s getting exciting! Actually sent my lady at Westbow some preliminary pages: title page, book description, back cover design, author bio, etc.  Now just to finish my index and await my editor’s final suggestions. PTL!!

Finished editing, able to make footnotes and endnotes (PTL!!) Project sent back to my editor this week. Had some good thoughts about it late last night, revisions to make. Sent Jim (ChristianWriterHelp.com) an email about it this morning. Getting closer! Looking forward to Memorial Day tomorrow. Developing some good relationships with some church buds. Maybe a chance to visit with a few of them this week. So the next step, besides finalizing the details, is to send it to Westbow Press. Excited.

Getting so much accomplished on the project. The kids are all back to school now. Three days a week are mine to work without distraction:)

Wonderful anniversary day today.  Thirteen years married, three happily.  Dana and Aaron away at Teen Missions this week.  Sounds like they’re having a good time.  Not talked to Dana yet, she called the other day when my phone was off.  Alan is taking me to Taco Bell today to celebrate. Shopping also at Target, to get an anniversary gift for my wife.  God is good.

Just played a fun game of Apples to apples with the boys.

Our children are blessed to be going to VBS this week at McGregor.  Gives me more time to work on my writing project.  Things are really starting to come together.  I’ve had a great proof-reader help prepare it, an editor look it over, my pastor write a forward.  Just some last-minute details now.  Then to be briefly re-examined by my editor and submitted to the P.O.D.  Having a website developed and soon to get a logo.  God is so good!

Great day….a fun, fun time doing things with our boys and Alyssa while Dana/Dr. and haircut.  Visited with some friends at Chuck E. Cheese in the morning and golfed in the backyard with the boys while Alyssa had a “nap.”  Still haven’t heard from Jim, Christian-Writer.com.  From what it sounds like, he’s doing me a superb edit job.  Just love him and his wife.  Dana brought us TB for supper, just watched Rain Man AGAIN with her.  Can’t remember, so always a new movie to  me. 

Great week.  Been forgetting to blog.  Exciting for what we got done.  Website/hosting up and running now.  Just waiting on my edited manuscript to be returned.  Evidently my submitted story needed a lot of work- thank You, Lord, for directing me to Christian-Writer-Help.com.  They are fantastic and will give me a video trailer, press release, and facebook/social media page later.  Fantastic one on one days Tuesdays/Thursdays with my daughter but tend to not get a lot of work done those days.  Tomorrow, a hurricane-makeup day with no school, I get to interact with our boys.  Well, that’s what it is. . .and may get together with some friends tomorrow at some point.  They’re fixing to have a baby boy in the next week or so.  Yahoo!
