• Okay… Here’s an Update

  What am I doing? In my journal here, I’ve started posting Japan-related things that tie-in to my novels, thinking that might interest my readers. But it was nearly crickets on my UFO catcher post last week! Maybe I took a wrong turn. So this week I’m just going to give a quick update on what’s…
