Snow has finally stopped so I am out of here.  Taking a road trip to Florida for hopefully some warmth and sunshine.  The trip will take about 22 hours each way (from Milwaukee to Ft. Lauderdale) so it should be quite the little adventure.  The goal tonight is to get past the snow belt – hopefully will make it to Memphis.

So you will not hear from me until the beginning of the year.  I’ll post about my trip when I get back.  

I hope everyone one has a fantastic holiday season!!

In a few days, I will be heading off to Florida for vacation – will be leaving this coming Saturday and will not be coming back until the beginning of next year.  This is a vacation that I am really looking forward to as I will be the first to admit that I am not a winter person at all.  Thus, living here in the midwest can be a bit challenging for me.  Today, it has been snowing most of the day and according to the forecast, a storm is on its way, dumping about a foot of snow on us.  I just hope that I will be able to escape town on Saturday – and it will not be a moment too soon.

I am finishing the year off on a good note though.  I have finished was I hope will be the final revision of my new novel.  The thing of it is, is that I have not come up with a title for it yet – 85,000 words but no name.  I shall have to think upon it over vacation.  The premise of the novel is this: 

Marek and his lover Randy purchase an old farm house.  One day, a handsome ghost appears to Marek in the kitchen.  Marek decides not to tell Randy and wonders if the ghost will  reappear.  A couple of weeks later, Marek discovers an old suit in one of the drawers in the attic.  He puts it on, feels dizzy, faints  and wakes up in the year 1870.  On his “return” back to his own time, he discovers that the handsome ghost – named Eli – is murdered by his own brother and Marek takes up upon himself to try and stop the murder.  Of course, this means another visit to 1870.

So there you have it – a synopsis of my “title-less” novel.  Time to do some brainstorming I guess.  I actually have not given the title much as I was mainly concerned with getting the story written.  If I remember correctly, this was the same issue with my first novel.

This is my first post! As I mentioned in the About page, I have decided to move from a Web page to a blog as I have a tendency to forget about and neglect my Web page. Hopefully, I shall not do the same with the blog.

The purpose of this blog is to provide me a space to write about my current work, as well as add my thoughts/reflections about life and our culture – all the things that provide me food for writing.

I do welcome all correspondence so feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions. Of course, comments on blog posts are welcome as well.
