This past week, the Kindle version of THE ROAD AHEAD has been on sale to coincide with the Trump inauguration. Really, how often do fiction and reality align this well? Not that Rick Tompkins is really like Donald Trump. But THE ROAD AHEAD provides a humourous insight on government policy making, media relations and what draws people to enter politics.

Some of you may have received my debut newsletter (you need to sign up to get it). It contains Chapter 1 of my next novel, LOVED MARS, HATED THE FOOD. If you read it, I would love to get your feedback.

This week, I completed Chapters 14 and 15. I’ve now hit 30,000 words. My first novel was 75,000 words so judging by THE ROAD AHEAD, I am approaching the midpoint of the book. I would love to complete draft #1 by the end of the spring.
