Personal Update from Dan – Plus a Little Book News


Haven’t been very active on Social Media since about March, but it’s not really because of the Covid-19 thing (although like everyone else, our lives have been dramatically affected by Covid). So, I thought I’d give my reading fans and friends a little update.

Thankfully, so far none of us have caught the virus (including our kids and grandkids), and we’re following all the recommended precautions. I happen to be in the high-risk category (for health reasons), so I’m being extra careful (and will likely have to do this till they come up with a vaccine).

The real reason I’ve been “out of touch” the past few months can be seen in the Pic. Just so happens, this whole Covid Pandemic happened right during the time we had decided to get our house ready to sell (after 34 years) and downsize into a nice little cottage home in a 55-Plus community nearby.  Most of my time since March has been spent either helping to get the old house ready or fixing up the new place (which we bought in April). In between, I’ve also been doing research on my next novel.

God was good to us, and we sold our house the first weekend it went on the market AND for the price we were asking. We closed on it and officially moved into the new place a couple of weeks ago. First thing we bought with the money (after paying off the new place)? Check out our little red golf cart!

We’ve still got some work to do on the new place (updating the kitchen, floors, etc), but I finally have enough time to get back to my writing in earnest.

About a week ago, I started writing the long-awaited sequel to my award-winning, bestselling novel, The Deepest Waters. Wrote it 10 years ago, so it’s taken me some time to get reacquainted with all the characters and storylines. But I did, and I’m loving the new direction for the sequel, which I’m calling The Longest Road. Hope to have it released by this Thanksgiving.

Well, you all stay safe and keep praying for this country (crucial days ahead). And hopefully, I’ll be keeping more in touch.

Have a great weekend,

Dan
