We've started calling him Muttley ... he's a very nice and obedient dog, behaves indoors, knows simple commands. I think that we shall probably wind up finding him a home ourselves, rather than turn him into the animal shelter.

The Federal bureaucracy has grown in to such a huge monster that short of total collapse nothing will stop it. As long as departments have the ability to create laws...uh, excuse me, regulations...with the full might of the Feds behind them, we are all, in a word, screwed!

Mom Mon, 30 Jan 2012 00:04:16 +0000 http://www.ncobrief.com/?p=7522#comment-614058 Next book ... I dunno, I have another paid project which will take me up through April. It'll be the Gold Rush adventure, which I still have to do a lot of prepatory reading for, so say, fall/winter 2013. Eh - I very well might eventually do a hardbound-dustcover volume of Daughter of Texas/Deep in the Heart, but the really big book project now will be the German translation of The Gathering. The guy doing the translation estimates most of this year, and we'll do an e-book, and a print book of it goes as expected ... I'd like it to be done in time for Christmas, 2012.

No stray dogs here, and my "idiot son" aka Pippin the retired racer who is the world's biggest klutz, seems to have finally healed his sliced toe, so life is better there. Am wondering when the next book will come out, since I've read all 7 of your current ones (wow - seven!?!?!?!). And am thinking that you need to do a combined set for Daughter of TX like you did with Adelsveiren.
