As expected, the writing has taken a few days off with the Basketball tourny, the World Baseball Classic, the weather turning warm, and the nagging beginning to get me outside, digging in the dirt. I have managed to spend a few late nights, early mornings, getting some of the pieces reworked and in presentable form but the book is not as far along as it should be. All, or at least most, of the minor distractions will end this coming week and remove any logical excuse for the delay.
I did get a few pictures for the book cover last week. The "E" suggested a church to, sort of, follow along with the first two books but I'm not sure. This area has nice looking churches, white with tall steeples, and stained glass windows, but there is a problem tying it all together with the crime, blood, and stuff. Light a candle so that I may see my way to an evangelical solution. As always, I'm still searching for that perfect street scene that will fit the descriptions in the story. I never did find a Town Hall that I liked. The Book II cover came from the old courthouse square in Perry, GA. That was close to what I had in mind for the stores on "Main Street" Powers Trace.
I'll add a few pieces of the book here to let everyone see where I'm heading. It's mostly catchup items now to get everything in sync so, maybe, by the first part of April I'll have enough to show off at least part of the first chapter.
Small towns are not unusual or outdated. This great land has many places with people who know what the word neighbor means, who always put hand to heart as the flag passes during the Fourth of July parade, and raise a ruckus with their hymn singing in church on a Sunday morning.
