I just got back from Oceanside, CA. It was a great vacation with the family. You may remember that Oceanside is where Quentin and his family go for vacation in Earthbound Not Alone. I chose Oceanside because I had been there years ago with my wife in May. It left such an impression on me that I decided to make it part of my story. I had to guess what things would be like in the winter, not having the money to go there myself for research. It was a pleasant surprise how accurate my description was after several years.

I'm stalling in my writing due to an effort to establish a larger fan base as well as a inundation of work to do at school. Book three is still in the planning stages, and I have a spin-off in mind. I have also toyed with the idea of going forward with my other series either simultaneously or independently before finishing book three. Lots of ideas are flowing through my brain, but there's so little time, and now with my school moving to a year-round schedule, I won't have much of a summer in which to write.

Speaking of summer, I am looking in to getting booths at Heritage Days in Syracuse, and at Oremfest. I'd be interested in hearing about any other ideas for promoting the Quickstep Universe and all of its adventures. Sorry it's been so long since I updated the blog. I'll try to be better at that. Thanks all! Double Danger is getting pretty good reviews from those who've read it. To me it is light years ahead of  Not Alone. It really makes me want to jump into number three so I don't lose momentum. Maybe I'm already too late for that.
More to come!
