On Wednesday, Michael Jaime-Becerra (author of Every Night is Ladies' Night) will be visitng the CGCC Pecos campus, and it will be my pleasure to meet and greet him, hear his views, opinions, and beliefs on writing, and of course, to get my book signed.

In my own news, on the 24th of this month the publishing journey for Madeline City will get under way, and the anticipation will grow to the next frenzied level. Today and tomorrow there is a job fair at the Val Vista and Baseline Barnes and Noble, and I'll be heading on over, seeing about securing another part-time job. Yes, the financial blues continue, though they are easier and easier to drown out with the approach of Madeline City.

It is always wonderful to hear that my writing has influenced people in a good way, and over the weekend an old friend approached me to tell me that I had done just that. Whether as a tool of escape, or as a hobby that compliments an already perfect life, or as one of those countless, wonderful, in-betweens, writing gives hope to those who have none. It enters into the room and changes the people within. It winds around the mind and pokes and prods until the writer breaks down and thinks honestly. Or dies trying.
