Good evening, guys, or morning, or some other time depending on where you are... I'm just dropping a note here to tell those who have become accustomed to certain activities that I may not be following the script for a bit.
I'm not playing for sympathy here, just passing along information, but I just spent the afternoon and evening at the ER with my wife. She and our daughter both caught some low-grade respiratory infection last weekend. Daughter is in the clearing up phase, but wife has progressed into labored breathing and the crackling chest sound like pneumonia makes. They kept her, I'm home, and won't know anything until tomorrow, so there MAY not be any writing or reviewing going on, or only sporadically, for the next few days.
The doctor assured us that it isn't major and they'll have her back on her feet soon. I'm just letting everyone I normally interact with know that I may be a bit distracted for a bit. Y'all take care, and stay inspired! ...
Good morning, all. I've made some rather sweeping changes to my port – up until an hour ago I was The Phantom Reviewer – and in the spirit of avoiding confusion, I've added a post to my newly-titled blog, "Weaver at Work" . Get the full lowdown at "What's in a Name?" ...
For those who may have an interest, my Cold War detective novel "Broken English" is complete! The story begins with "PROLOGUE" . Dig in and have fun! ...

"Broken English" , my Cold War/Police novel, is moving quickly. Chapter Nine just went up, and it looks to be right around the halfway point. I know most of you probably like completed items to read, but should anyone harbor a bit of curiosity, the link will take to the story. Start with the Prologue and have a ball...
I think it reads like Dick Francis meets Robert Ludlum, only with a much more interesting protagonist than most Ludlum novels. Just in case anybody is curious about the vibes.
Also, I ran across this on my playlist yesterday and it paired well with the novel chapters:
Raven - That's amazing! As is how much her voice has changed since the 60s. Thank you for the compliments, by the way. Your opinions mean a great deal to me...
Good morning. I've been waffling about starting a forum here, and have finally decided that it's time. If it doesn't catch on, it doesn't catch on, but you never know if you don't try. So swing by and make yourself comfortable. What would you like to talk about?

Good day, friends. Just a note to let you know I've added an entry to my blog, "Weaver at Work" . Yes, I'm still blocked, but today I'm talking about the positive attempts I'm making to get out of it. Join me for "Pick a Card, Any Card" . If nothing else, it will give you a look at a product that's advertised frequently here on the site. Hope to see you there...
For those following, I've added a new chapter to my book, "Broken English" . The link is "CHAPTER 6: MONDAY" , but if you're just discovering this, you should start with the prologue. Just go to the link; it isn't hard to find from there...
Good day, everyone. I've added a new entry to my blog, "Weaver at Work" , for anyone who may find that sort of thing entertaining. Drop by if you like and help me answer the question "Where Does the Love Go?"
First announcement: The results are in for the month of January, and for the first time, I've made two awards. I'm not saying this is a rare event, but if you people keep writing this well, I'm going to have to get another job!

Phantom's Gold (E) The best of the best; the five-star story that most impressed me each month.
Second announcement: Today, instead of adding to my Broken English novel, I've added another dark and twisted tale to my Icy Fingers collection. Stop by when you're in the mood for a chill, and take a ride with a girl who wears her
