Tah-Dah

 Tah-Dah

I forget when I first heard someone use this word (?) to imply the something magical had happened. Look what I did, if you will.

This week I've jumped through all of the hoops in the processes of getting my book into the guts of the IngramSpark publishing Behemoth. It accepted my files and sent me an E-proof. I approved the e-Proof and TA-DAH. We can order the book. 

As I've mentioned before, it's a print-on-demand (POD) process. They can make literally one book. It's also available as a digital book (Kindle, Nook, etc.)

I've ordered a hard copy just to make sure everything is top drawer. After I see that, I'll be marketing the book. You will be able to order it from online dealers such as Amazon, Apple, and Barnes & Noble. Or, you may prefer to order it from your favorite brick-and-mortar local bookstore like Boswell's here in Milwaukee. I will supply the ISBN #, so it's easy to find

This process takes a bit of time. They tell me the processing time takes about five days, and then there is shipping. Of course, it's available immediately for those of you who read on a tablet or computer.





My novel, 26 Women, is a  story about a young man, Richard "don't call me Dick Rick or any other short derivative please" Harrison. Richard goes through life on a wave of experiences driven by the women he meets and relates with. From his early attempts at losing his virginity, his troubled first marriage, raising a daughter as a single dad, and his confusing choices of friends and comrades, Richard grows and matures as the pages turn and the story unfolds. I'm hoping you'll buy my book, enjoy it enough to recommend it to your friends and book club members.

Ring The Bell

 It appears there is a tradition in the radiology department at Ascension Hospital that patients, upon completing their course of treatment, ring a bell. ( We know not for whom this bell tolls.) Ring the Bell with My Sweetheart Jeanne. Jeanne drove me to all but two of the appointments. Pam Frautchi took me to the other two. Today, after being zapped thirty-two times, I rang the bell. This begins a roughly one-month recovery period where the effects of the radiation abate and, I'm assured, a return to normalcy occurs. In my case, I anticipate more energy and greater awareness. Books, Books, & More Books I am simultaneously celebrating the end of the third year of volunteering for the All Saints Hunger Book Sale. Next week, we will wrap up the preparation for the sale and open our doors on August 3 for the public. I ran into this humourous but quite accurate cartoon on a T-Shirt that shows most of the volunteer's sentiments at this point. If you think the printed and bound p...

One of my latest efforts. Sketch: The Lady Is Blue Gouache 9 X 12 Reporting: I enjoyed a pleasant evening with my friend Michelle Mooney. I took her out for dinner to celebrate her birthday and to thank her for the many first-rate haircuts she's given me. We were surprised at the number of people who dined alfresco in the balmy night air. Whatever we've done to please Mother Nature, she had deemed acceptable by giving us a shot of summer just when late fall weather was wrapping her fingers around our throat. If I have one complaint about the friendly confines of The County Claire, it's the noise level that makes it difficult to converse. The rumble is an acoustical problem with the customers speaking in normal conversational tones. This is without audible TV showing some game or background music selected by a dance DJ.  I know! We should have eaten outside, where the only noise is the occasional 14 bus snorting by.   Maybe It's Me Since my two soccer teams are not doing...

It's time again.

It started in 2004 when we moved to our condo off Downer in Milwaukee. Then we mover to the Westside of Milwaukee when we rented from Ken Karr, the former landlord, now a current friend on Highland and 29th St. Then we moved to Mandeville Louisiana for a little less than a year. Returning to The Fox River Valley, we rented a home in Fox Crossing, formerly The Town of Menasha. When the tree fell on the roof, and the landlord felt no urgency to fix it, we moved to W. Commercial in Appleton. Here is a shocker. Are you sitting down? We are moving. No, I don't mean off the couch and out to the patio. There are too many damn mosquitoes for that to happen. No, we are packing our stuff, or at least the stuff we unpacked from the last move and moving to a home Maria purchased on Mason and Glendale in Appleton. Let me unpack that last sentence (pun planned for). We are moving at approximately the end of September to a house. The house has been in t...
