Sorry I’m late, but I had the phone call with Technica Editorial Services this morning. And it went great.

Everything has become manageable in my life again, gang! Yay.

And the rates, in my opinion, are very reasonable.

Before I forget — since Half-Moon Bride is included in the collection A Man in Her Arms & Other Stories, and since it is a long short story and not even really a novelette and is difficult to price, I’ve decided that I will no longer be selling it as a stand-alone title.

So that one is not coming back as an eBook, but everything else will get reformatted and back in circulation soon.

Yay. What a relief.

This will probably be a short post because I have to get back to work on the TV synopsis here and the day is half-over already.

So, here’s this!

Phyllis Stein came back to Instagram yesterday, but just for a moment. But, as you can guess, her post was bittersweet and it made my wee bonny heart swoon.

David Johansen, remembered at the Grammy Awards:

And the Mavericks had a similar post about Raul Malo:

I thought this was fantastic.

I had no idea Langston Hughes, a favorite poet of mine, had basically grown up in Cleveland!!

And from Ross K. Nichols Sunday School class this past Sunday:

“The Hebrew Book of the Dead explores what the Hebrew Bible reveals about death, the dead, and, if anything, what lies beyond the grave.”

And at night, I’m listening to this free audiobook now — maybe my favorite of the Kerouac audiobooks I’ve listened to so far (my 5th in the past month).

Desolation Angels — read by Andy Marin:

And last but definitely not least!

I’m not sure which cities these great photos of Nick Cave are from, but it’s somewhere in Australia!!

Tickets are still available for the shows in Wellington, New Zealand, Feb. 5th & 6th. You can buy tickets here!

After that, the tour is over!!

All right. I’m gonna get started around here.

I hope you are having a terrific Tuesday, wherever you are in the world.

Thanks for visiting.

I love you guys. See ya!

I leave you with this!

Yesterday was the anniversary of musician, composer, filmmaker Ivan Král’s death.

From Patti Smith Group’s album Wave, a song co-written by their bass player Ivan Král. The classic “Dancing Barefoot.” 1979. Enjoy, gang.
