  • Perfectionism

    I spent three hours last night reading through the current draft of The Fires of Ra, which is heading off to the editor on Monday. Other than a few small issues, it’s mostly ready.

The process of pushing for an independent Hawai`i is a lot less intense, abrupt, and fraught with human misery than in my novel, for sure.

    In less than 24 hours the winners of the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award will be announced.
