The Life and Works of an American Author

A little of this, little of that...

So it’s the day after Easter and my girl Friday, alias Tori McGee, has told me I’m past due on a blog. There have been some recent developments. My son Shawn had a baby with a little help from his wife Amanda. Amelia Joy Clark is now a month old and conveniently only crying at night.

This makes 4 Grandkids, the oldest, Walter just had his third birthday and as much as I detest baby birthday parties my daughter, Bonnie Kay, gave a really good one. We went from there to a baby shower which I detest even more than birthday parties and to my utter shock it was a blast. So where does this leave me? Don’t say it. I hate that word. The day I stop gazing at bikinis is the day I will accept that word.

I will get girl Friday to put a photo of the kids for those readers who like to look at kids.

Said photo...

Walter’s dad owns a construction company and Walter likes things to be in order and well built. You will notice that he’s trying to fix Amelia’s head and Amelia seems unsure of wanting to be a part of this family. Adley, to his right, will be on the stage someday or doing commercials for a cell phone company. Baby Nancy on the end is a living reminder to her mother Bonnie exactly why I called her chubby cheeks for most of her life.

On the writing front I’m trying to put the finishing touches on a new book, working title… Walk a Little Farther. It is the most personal book I’ve ever written and it is about a miracle. As it gets closer to being published I will write more about it. I’m also trying to find a publisher for The Harlot’s Cup. I think I will blog a little about the Harlot’s Cup next time.

Finally, for anyone who might be interested, I’m doing a radio show tomorrow at 11am from Clearwater, Fl. It’s on Tan Talk Radio Network 1340am. The show is hosted by Patzi Gil and is called Joy on Paper. Those who are not local can listen live on her site here.

Hope you guys had a glorious Easter. If there was ever anything worth celebrating Easter is at the top of the list. And let’s all remember that Easter trumped old age and death. I really love that.

Semper Fi, Johnnie
