7/7/2010 -- Hired a graphic artist to create cover art for my modern Vincent Van Gogh novel: Van Gogh, Encore. I'll be self pubbing it via Amazon Digital Text for Kindle. Currently giving the chapters another edit.

7/5/2010 -- An editor is polishing Rhone for the print second edition, and for my upcoming effort at e-publishing, since Wild Wolf Publishing doesn't do e-books currently.

Verbal feedback for medical thriller Hippocrates Shattered has been pretty good so far. Wonder why family sounds surprised by it? Guess they've been living with John's Writing Thing so long it dulled their senses to greatness ;^)

And lo, Dark Resurrection made enough last month to buy a lunch! And here I was starting to request my rights back from Samhain on it.

... btw, this blog name may provide just enough impetus for me to actually read more Shakespeare. Ye olde English can be a chore when reading for pleasure time finally rolls around but there's no denying his greatness. From Hamlet, Act III then:

To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them?
