I am, in fact, working on my second book at the moment. Although my first was a droll technology tome. As a writer my inspirations are the late, great Norm "Firehat" Liebman ( http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1289199/posts ), with just a bit of H.P. Lovecraft thrown in.
You might enjoy a visit to my blog ... http://www.traywickscorner.com/ ... I recommend the articles in the 'Tales from the Farm Side' category.
Sieze the weekend!
Nice blog. Good luck also with your next writing project. You're wonderfully multi-talented. Too bad more of those workers in the field didn't listen. They would have found you to be filled with some very good pragmatic wisdom.
