Whew! We’re in a long stretch of triple-digit heat down here in Texas, right now. One of the local weathermen has HOT written in huge red letters over every day in his forecast, which would be funny if it wasn’t, you know, indicating that we are about to start baking in our boots, again. And I foolishly keep reminding myself that we are not yet in the hottest part of the Texas summer. No, that won’t get here until August. Until then, we’re just mildly simmering! (O.o)

Meanwhile, back at the ranch…

Today, in A Covenant of Shadows, we begin Book 2 of the novel, called “Nightmare’s Shadow.” Genjiro finds himself in another dream, but this time, it’s a full memory of the events following his return to Exedra from Farai. This part of the novel is in an extended flashback format. And in Desperado Dawn, Josh, Ricky and Molly cross the Colorado River and head for the hills, looking for a good hideout.
