I've actually been working hard on The Bone Man, but it's hard not to take wonderful pics right out my office window. I moved the furniture around, and so I have an even better view of the birds and critters who visit.

I'm also involved in an advanced Photoshop course, as well as a group called Cindy's Knitters. Busy, yet none are distractions from the job at hand—The Bone Man. No cover art yet, but soon, I hope.

Hope you're all swell.

Another one. He's hard *not* to photograph, he's so gorgeous.

Here he is. Bitter cold outside, but he doesn't seem to mind. Mrs. visits, too, but she didn't appear that day.

So Bad

I've been soooo bad about my blog, and I apologize to the three people who read it. Maybe four, but that's a stretch, given my recent non-attendance.

Okay - here's the scoop:
I've been working on my new Tally Whyte novel, The Bone Man. The mystery takes place in Boston, on Martha's Vineyard, and in New Mexico. I've been virtually traveling, making a ton of calls to terrific sources, and generally ignoring everything else. So please forgive me.

I've been knitting like a banshee, too. We've started a knitting group here called Cindy's Knitters. It's small and fun and very casual. We honor all our friend, Cindy, as well as all the knitters who've gone before us.

See ya soon.

Second - Seems to me I owe books to two gals who guessed that Bodega Bay had to do with The Birds, by Hitchcock. I'll get to it, and if you want to help me remember, shoot me an e-mail.

We're living in Ice World here, and here are a couple of photos you might like, just so you can enjoy the New Hampshire ambiance of freezing-ness. I'm actually glad that the warm weather has fled for a while, as this burrr feels much more normal then all that warm weather.
