Been working diligently on the new novel this week, making some significant progress which always makes me happy, naturally. Everything is still first draft mode, of course, but the story is coming together nicely. There will be a bit of news regarding the novel in the coming weeks, so stay tuned for that.
Had the pleasure of catching singer/songwriter Tom Curren at the Slipper Room on Thursday night. A very talented songwriter, I must say, and was very impressed with him and his band. He currently has a CD released on Wolf Bomb Records and I highly recommend you check him out. Not only is Tom a great songwriter but he is also a world champion surfer. A man of many talents. Was glad I was able to attend this show - and the fun after party at Sons of Essex. Good music, good friends and good food. Couldn’t ask for more.

It all sounds good, Julian. Now you are making me want to revisit my writing of years past.
Will have to read one or more of your books one of these days when I stop pumping out the images.
Wishing you all the best with your book.
Thank you Lynda. Very much appreciated. I've really been enjoying your photography. You have a really great eye for it. Amazing photos. I always admired how photographers could do that. Whenever I take photos, I think I'm getting such a "great shot" when I'm looking at it then when I actually do, it always looks like a regular snapshot. :-/ There's something truly special about a photographer's eye and you certainly have that. Thanks again for commenting & hope you have a great day!
