Still working on "Passing Thoughts" and shopping for publishers. I think I may have a new one called Neighborhood Press, but we shall see...
Anybody knowing of someone wanting to edit my short stories for me, correct grammar etc., (HINT- HINT - Mr. Musgrave or Mr. Whitney??) please let me know!

Also anybody still needing a "corrected" issue of "Fly" please let me know - I do have some left I think!!
