“Elena is no more.”
It's been one year since I lost contact with Elena Amberova who translated my novel into Russian. Elena lived in Kharkiv, Ukraine with her elderly mother who did not want to flee the country after the Russian invasion last year. Sadly last summer her brother contacted me, "...Lena is no more. It's been almost 3 months now. My name is Ivan, her brother." Ironically Saluki Marooned sold more copies in Russian than any of the other six languages (including English). Every time I think of Elena I feel sad. We Skyped a few times, texted, and emailed each other. And I read some of her writing which she translated into English. What a waste of a human being!

The New Cover
I'd never seen this cover. Ummmmmmmmm....
On a book I mean... a book that is actually in my presence, as in when I walked through the atrium yesterday and spotted Paula eating lunch and reading Saluki Marooned. Paula has helped me with a variety of things, including website development, Facebook ads, and temper containment. (Mine, not hers)
Oh yes, the cover looks better in person than on a computer screen. So does Paula!
A Blank Screen, and a Blinking Cursor…
A blinking cursor is what the new novel about SIU looked like several months ago. Tristan Workman of the SIU Small Business Development Center sat down with me recently to talk about what I am doing back at SIU. We talked about writing, coffee, and...Baby Boomers.
