Stricland and Scanlon at there best

Hey,

As tough as Scanlon is, she's got a heart of gold. Probably sometimes to easy of a touch but she's got good people around her like Bobby so no one takes advantage. Townsend epitomizes someone that wouldn't think of taking advantage of anyone. She's the breath of air that Scanlon needs in her jaded and unthinkable life to set the world straight for her after all the long hard years yearning for one thing and one thing only.

Watching the Character grow



Hey,

Can't wait to get another novel up. Working title "Stricland and Scanlon". I'm sure that will change as soon as I see it in the novel. This one is a long one and it's been difficult. This was one of the ones that I hand wrote just to see if I could do it and what was it like before the dawn on the typewriter then voila the laptop.
One thing I can say is that when you're writing by hand you really can't go back and change things very easily so what you do is note it down on the side then when you type it in you try and remember what your thoughts were at the time. Have you ever tried to read your handwriting after a year being away from it? God is that special.
Anyway I'm about two thirds through and I finished reading the handwritten pages and there is no way I can leave it the way I've ended it. I'll have to carry on when I get there. The two main characters deserve better. Couple of Kansas City detectives that know their stuff. Wish me luck.

Talk soon,
Bob

New Book Soon


Hey,

I'm in the throws of another novel. Bet you couldn't guess since it's been so long that I've written anything. I've had a good run with this one and I'm just a few weeks from being done at least with the second draft. This one should be the longest one yet. I think I'm getting touched by the Blarney Stone. You'll understand that one when you read it.
Hope everyone is doing what they love to do. I am and I'm glad I'm doing it. May not be making much at it yet but my books keep selling and I'll have that wonderful readership in no time. Thanks to everybody that's buying my books. I'm humbled.

Talk soon,
Bob
