We move too fast
In everything we do
Planning every minute
To ensure all gets done
As if death is at our door
You see it on the road
People weaving into harm
As if the reaper
Is racing up behind
When he is waiting up ahead
We do it to our children
Pushing all they do
As if doom has them on the list
Planning to take them
Unless they speak at two
All our actions center
On what tomorrow holds
And how to get there fast
Skipping over days like leaves
Crushed beneath a funeral march
The quicker that we move
The faster we reach our maker
Who may ask us to our face
Why we never slowed our pace
And listened to the wind
If you try something new for the first time and you don’t fuck it up, you’re probably not doing it right. Mistakes are natural, normal and help us learn to get better. I’m doing a monthly newsletter full of even more writing tips, competitions, handy writer hacks and news on my progress towards publishing.

I made mistakes. But I’m a writer. So standing up, dusting myself down and picking up the proverbial pen again is in my blood.
When I wrote the post on creating your perfect Author Newsletter I’d already found Mailchimp hard to set up and master. But SO many people said the same thing I knew I had to regroup and share some of the lessons I’d learnt doing my own newsletter.

If you’d like to pick up an advance copy, you can do so by clicking on the book cover below:
Here is a synopsis:
Frank Rozzani, a transplant to Jacksonville, Florida from Syracuse, New York, has left his tragic past as a police officer behind for life as a private detective. Frank and his partner Clifford “Jonesy” Jones work with the local police to solve crimes that are virtually unsolvable.
In Frankly My Dear, the fourth in the Frank Rozzani Detective Series of novels, Frank and Jonesy are at it again and this time the case is one of the most bizarre…

Today has sucked. Last night I started having a raspy cough and decided to see a doctor today. The wife was in the same boat, but with her usual bronchitis. First, that insurance issue wasn’t as fixed as I thought. We’re on Medicaid until May 1st when our old plan takes us back. This is one of those programs where you’re covered, but with something that is accepted less than a kick to the groin. Found a clinic though and spent the birthday morning getting checked out. Sadly, I’m not done because there was a blip on the EKG and I have to see a cardiologist to make sure it’s nothing serious. There goes my Monday at least.
Honestly, I really should have seen something like this coming. My week got destroyed by errands early on while I tried to get things ready for that special project. Still waiting for that to go forward, but it still be delayed due to the disease. Plus side is that the kid is doing much better today. He was home for 2 days and that killed all momentum I had for working. The first day was checking on him every 5-10 minutes and carrying him to where he had to go. The second day was him being more active until an afternoon of crying over everything. With the wife going down, I can’t hand him off to her and recover energy. So I might be more quiet than usual some days.
With the health thing in the air, I don’t think I’m going to be expecting a lot of success in other areas. My plan was going to be to use the next two weeks to set up stuff for the Crossing Bedlam sequel. Just designing new characters for a redesigned Lloyd and Cassidy to run into. All I’ve done is list the stops, list of vehicles, and a basic idea for each spot. Maybe I’ll get lucky and finish all of that by the end of the week. Maybe I’ll also develop a healing factor and win the lottery. Needless to say, I have very little faith in my success. Other projects have been stalled too because I’m just too tired to be annoying over email.
To anyone who volunteered for the Secret Project, I’m hoping it’s okay if I put you on the list for the next Windemere release. Not sure when that will happen, but I’m praying it happens in May. This is where I’d normally put a list of goals. I don’t really feel up to it after everything that happened over the last couple of days. Nearly 2 PM and this is the first chunk of ‘me time’ I’ve had. Royally sucks.

So, I’m tending to a kid with strep right now. Lots of kid movies and pampering, which has me thinking about being sick in a story. It doesn’t come up too often unless it’s a central part of the story. I kind of used one in Curse of the Dark Wind. Anyway, let’s get to the question before I’m back on the parent job.
Here is the promised update on the progress of Honest Fibs, my third collection of short stories, written in my trademark combination of speculative and science fiction: it’s alive! Sorry, I …

Don’t touch that dial! You’ve found Lisa Burton Radio. Now broadcasting to alternate dimensions, and all across the known universe at one point twenty-one jigawatts of power. I’m your host, Lisa Burton, the robot girl.
We have a very special guest today, Veronica Kane, also known as Giant Girl. Welcome to the show Ronni.
“Hello Lisa! Thanks for having me on the show. I don’t usually get interviewed except by insurance claims adjustors, so this is a treat for me.”
“I love Giant Girl Adventures comics, and am excited for our listeners to meet you. You’re a very interesting super-being in that you’re not overly successful. What can you tell us about that?”
“Suuuure, we can start with that. I gave the folks at Giant Comics rights to publish stories based on my adventures years ago, but I’ll never see a dime of it because of all the lawsuits for…
