Hours of work and professional reconstruction has gone into my new website. First a big thanks to Jeremy Hendrickson of Dedicated Web Services (Hibbing) for the needed upgrade.
To begin with you will see a recent photo of me while touring Ireland in early February with my daughter Erin, her son Jack, and boyfriend Josh McKenna – another Irishman and master chauffeur as we traveled across the country. It was a marvelous experience for all of us. (More on our travels in a later blog). Yes, the photo replaces one of a much younger man.that I thought was quite flattering. Now I’m considerably older, bearded, and slower moving.
The previous site proved cumbersome for those wanting to order books and to communicate with me. Jeremy has resolved those issues. I missed blogging with my followers and responding to their communications with me — which by the way is what I enjoy most about having a webpage. I really enjoy comments on the books I’ve written and find them helpful whether positive or critical.
This year, the COVID pandemic has canceled all of my sales events and I deliberated on whether to publish the story I wrote over the past year. Without publicity I decided to print a short-run of the new title: ‘THE FINAL CHAPTER’. If you are on this site you have a sketch of the new novel. I wanted it to be available to my readers, many of whom purchase them for Christmas. If you live in Hibbing there are two locations where the book is available. The Sunrise Deli still has all of my titles available — many at reduced prices. The second outlet is Sullivan Supply. Tommy Sullivan has always been a supporter of my work as has Mary Forti. Otherwise, if you can’t get to Hibbing, this site offers all of my work..
As many of you may know, I have spent a few winter months in Florida. I plan to sell my home here and brave the Minnesota winters once again. Hopefully, the pandemic will lessen and I can safely get back on the book-peddling scene. Most of my readers are Rangers and that’s where I’m most comfortable. I’ve been blessed with family down here and the best neighbors anyone could hope for so parting will be like aging — a little pain everywhere. Look forward to more of my prattle in the days to come. I pray for your good health, a Merry Christmas, and a healthy 2021.
God bless each of you and our great America.
