Almost anything gets old. New projects keep me interested and that includes writing/publishing. I've been involved in the reform movement of the sixties,clinical psychology, specialty travel, overseas ventures, national stepfamily awareness, parenting, and marriage (twice). That's the short list. Now its women's fiction and associated publishing. That's my wife, Mala, in the picture with me. She writes under the name Annie Rogers. She'll chime in here from time to time. Come take a look at what we are doing in women's fiction at www.annierogers.com

When I left the hospital they told me to go home and pretend I was still hospitalized. That meant lying around in bed. If Iwas truly in the hospital they would have been coming in constantly and taking my "vitals" or drawing blood. Then too there would be shift changes which occur at inconvenient hours - for the patient. Just when you drop off to sleep at night they come in and wake you up at eleven at night. Ugh. So, it was hard to pretend because it's quiet around here.
And, anyway, I missed Hal my faithful computer. If I wasn't at Hal, how would anyone notice when he ate my data, randomly deleted things from my hard drive or refused commands. Probably the worst part of being in the hospital was that they do not have Wifi. There was nothing to do but look at TV, read a book and read and reread the notations on the wall about urine output and bowel movements. I was missing Hal. So, I came home and began to proof the galley for the second book in the Demontagne Saga, A Circle of Dreams, which comes out momentarily. It was not particularly stressful and it actually engaged me again.
We may never know what happened but I'm back at work and feeling fine. I think I won't waste a lot of time wondering why it happened or what it was. Not worth the trouble and I learned nothing new. Onward!
