All will be well. Hardest part is separation from my children, and the possibility of job loss at the counseling agency I've worked for for 14 years. Make no mistake: false allegations can play havoc with your whole life.

Yeah, I hear you, 40hz :) Been a bit too ... anxious ... recently to write. Personal problems: on leave without pay last several months because of *!@#:)! ex-spouse's lies (I was about to get custody, and like a cornered snake, she struck).

But it'll happen. Coming close to a resolution, one way or another, in the next few weeks, then I'll write the sequel.

I've had a couple of really nice customer testimonials for my proofreading service. Wanted to share them:

“Thanks William. I finished updating the manuscript with all your changes. You are a life saver!  I will definitely spread the word. So many of my author colleagues are struggling with their proofing. You did a great job, and thanks… William went above and beyond what I expected. Not only was he detailed and thorough, he  finished three days before the deadline.  I highly recommend his services to other indie authors. Affordable, reliable, thorough and on schedule–it’s a no-brainer.”  –  Anne-Rae Vasquez, author of Doubt, Among Us Trilogy

“William is an excellent proofreader, and found 42 errors my editor missed in Knightfall, and over 100 in Darkest Before Dawn. Well worth a look!” — Robert Jackson-Lawrence, author.

Your Smashwords account probably has adult-filtering enabled by default. You can turn it off.

Sorry for the problems, tomos.  I corrected the misspelling in the earlier post.  Here's the direct URL: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/339398

where's the best place for you financially?

I prefer people to buy from Amazon, as I'm trying to raise my search rank there.

Thanks.

A chicken farmer went  to the local bar...He sat next to a woman and ordered champagne.
 
The woman said: "How strange, I also just ordered a glass of champagne."
 
"What a coincidence," said the farmer, who added: "It is a special day for me .... I'm celebrating."
 
"It is a special day for me too, I am also celebrating!" said the woman.
 
"What a coincidence," said the farmer.
 
While they toasted, the man asked: "What are you celebrating?"
 
"My husband and I have been trying to have a child for years, and today,
my gynecologist told me that I was pregnant."
 
"What a coincidence!" said the man.  "I'm a chicken farmer and for years all my hens were  infertile, but now they are all set to lay fertilized eggs."
 
"This is awesome" said  the woman.  "What did you do for your chickens to become fertile?"
 
"I used a different rooster," the farmer said.
 
The woman smiled and said: "What a coincidence!"

Finished David Drake's "Northworld". Now reading the 2nd novel in the trilogy, "Vengeance". Good sci-fi written in the early 90s.

"Not A Pot To Piss In"
"Raining Cats and Dogs"
"The Case of the Poisonous Tomatoes" (a mystery, obviously)
