Mood:  mischievious

It has been sometime since i have sat to write. Life takes on all sorts of shapes and sizes. Since the time I opened this site, many things have happened. My novels took flight and sold nicely as did my CD for a time. My precious Love of 24 years lost the battle she had fought so very hard to win. It was only a short time ago in my heart that Sheila went to heaven. March 8th, 2006 seems like only yesterday to me.

 It has been a long hard road for me, trying to get back into the swing of writing again. I am taking that step forward now but in order to fully do that, i need to make a few changes in my life also. Those I am working on and will reserve the right to speak of them at a later time. For now, I want to concentrate on out-reaching to the public again. I want to let people know that my novels are available, both through myself and through barnesandnoble.com as well as amazon.com and publishamerica.

A little bit about me and where i am today might be in order, I suppose. I am 48 years old for a few more weeks. I live with my youngest daughter in a little town called Eldora in Iowa, USA. I have 5 cats and one very large and handsome dog named Kota. He is one year old and weighs in at 135 lbs.He is Husky/lab mix and loves everyone. He loves walks in the forest and pulling kids around on his sled.

I have written and published two novels. Their titles are Abduction and Until Death Do We Meet. They are suspense novels and Until Death Do We Meet has the twist of being a ghost story. They are both excellent reads and will capture your interest from page one.

I also have produced a CD of 13 ofmy favorite love songs that I myself wrote and composed the music for. It is set with only acoustic guitar music and are fo the easy listening, soft music. I am sure you will enjoy this also. It is available through me at boogieman_50627@yahoo.com  Write to me and I will be glad to show you how to get one.

 I will be writing more about myself and things that might help you to know me better soon. This is to be the first of many entries for me.   Darrel
