I am one of those people who seldom looks before leaping. I also have the disconcerting habit of thinking I am a far better juggler than I am, with the result that I am constantly being bonked on the head by one uncompleted or overlooked project or the other.

This newsletter is a classic case in point. I'd intended to keep far better track of it than I fear I have, primarily because I'm so busy trying to keep all the other bowling pins/bowling balls in the air.

I truly appreciate everyone who has signed up to receive this newsletter and will make an announcement right now that I hope might make your having done so somewhat worthwhile.

The audiobook of "The Serpent's Tongue," book #15 of the Dick Hardesty Mystery series, has just been released, and the producers have provided me with a couple of complimentary copies to distribute as I see fit. So if any of you might like to have one on a first-come, first-served basis, please email me at doriengrey@gmail.com

Thanks for being here, and I'll do my best to do better in future.
