I haven't posted on the blog for the past month because I've been devoting my free time to finishing the revision of my book. I completed it last night. Now all I have to do is type the new pages, reread it and make any changes I feel necessary before sending it off to be read. What I realized last night is that this is kind of a new book altogether. While there are definitely chapters from the original version of Legendary incorporated into the new version, one major storyline was completely excised (along with those characters) and the other storyline has been shoved into the background. The new book is strictly about three characters and the love triangle that forms around them. I'm excited about the new book. I hope that other people will be, too. Aloha

Jacob's birthday was last weekend and it was a wonderful time. Stressful in parts, but when isn't it stressful when you have a house full of people and a tortoise that doesn't act like you were hoping it would? That's right, Jake received a tortoise for his birthday. He was shocked and amazed. Immediately he named it "Cap'n K'nuckles" after the character in the cartoon The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack . I didn't realize that he liked the character so much on the TV show, but he was insistent that this would be his pet's name. The Cap'n (one of his nicknames) seems to have a cold and is not eating. I took him to the vet on Sunday and we are now giving him drops in his nostril once a day. Otherwise he doesn't do much right now. Personally, I think he might be trying to hibernate. Then again, whenever we bring him out of his glass case he's very active. I don't know anything about tortoises so so this is a learning experienc...
