Okay. I’m a month late on posting TeleTale and haven’t made much progress on TURK’S PLACE. On the upside, I finished the screenplay I started in November, The Game of Knights and Dragons, got it registered with WGA, survived Christmas, spent a week in Hawaii, got through my stepson’s wedding (with 70 people in the house!), and shoveled a bunch of snow. Survived, in other words. Congrats to me on that….

The slow pace of TURK’S PLACE bothers me. The book has the potential of being my best novel to date. It’s hard to write, though. The early seventies weren’t good years. All the echoes of Vietnam in the book make each page painful, even though it contains no action in the Republic.
