Hi Everyone: It has been a great summer so far with a vacation on the southern coast of Maine as well as a baseball trip to Pittsburgh to see the Pirates (who have not had a winning season in 20 years, but have the best record in baseball right now).

Have had a couple of fun readings, one at Writers and Books (Thanks Steve Huff) where I got reacquainted with James Whorton. If you haven't read him, you should.

Have a book group coming up this week which is always fun.

Have been editing my latest novel, More More Time, and have been surprisingly pleased with it. Hope to finish this month and get it to some readers. (If anyone would like to read it in draft form, let me know.)

Have also thoroughly enjoyed writing my blog for Psychology Today magazine (Going Out Not Knowing). It's been an opportunity to write about spirituality, something that is important to me, something that is often reflected in my novels, but not something I have ever written about so directly. My latest blog is entitled, "Why Don't I Go To Church" and can be read at
http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/going-out-not-knowing (Authors Den has assured me that they have solved the problem of why this address has not been posted correctly thus far. We will see.)

Interesting blog title considering that I will be preaching next week at the Irondequoit Presbyterian Church (10am). Come one, come all.

My best,
Dave
