Word Count, Longhand, Vecna, Turkeys, you know…
I’ve been writing, not nearly as much as I’d like, but I’m getting somewhere. I finished another chapter yesterday.

Google Maps Gold
I was doing some research on where a certain criminal character might live in Kofu, Japan, for book three of The Ghost and the Mask series. Although I have spent time there, I don’t live in Japan, so I randomly picked a neighborhood in Google maps and dropped the little yellow man into street view.…
