Good news
Progress in the mail this morning....always a nice way to begin any day. I have a radio interview scheduled to discuss Songs of Sadness, Songs of Love and two publishers are interested in picking up my novels. That was fast.
"Woke up this morning with my mind . . . (Can you finish this line?)."

More on the title
My next novel title involves two Nathans: Nathan Hale & Nathan Bedford Forest.
George Washington recognized the importance of covert activities and appointed the first intelligence gathering group, the forerunners to the OSS and the CIA, the Culper Ring. Hence: The Nathan Culper Brotherhood.
Nathan Hale is supposed to have said "I regret that I have but one life to give for my country." There's debate about whether that's what he said, but it sounds heroic!
Forest was a Confederate hero during the Civil War, was one of the founders of the Ku Klux Klan, the KKK's first national Imperial Wizard, and remains a hero today in the eyes of those southerners who don't know they lost the Civil War.

Bummed a bit
I 'm a bit bummed this morning. The first reviewer of my first novel didn't read he whole book. "The affair is never resolved," the reviewer states. WRONG! It's resolved fully in a later chapter! Clearly! Read the whole book!
I'm trying to rise above this, failing mostly. :-(
