Yay! I just finished editing and posting Berkshire Place Beckons: Chapter Eight.   Sled riding, my first physical fight, falling off the side of the mountain...fun stuff! lol  :-)   https://www.wattpad.com/myworks/279513892/write/1153109054

Good news!  It's taken A LOT longer than I had estimated, but I'm finally done with the third full edited draft of Behind Bars, which is the book that I'm pursuing actual publication with (It's an in-depth expose' of the largely unregulated warehousing of the mentally ill and mentally disabled within our nation's prison system.)  I'm now working on editing chapter eight of Berkshire Place Beckons, the second and final volume of my memories centered around my childhood back in 1970s Charleston, West Virginia.  As soon as I'm finished with that and have it posted, I'll also be turning right around and working on the next chapter of The Omega Man, too.  Thanks for your patience!  And it sure is good to be sitting back in my Wattpad saddle, too  :-D

I'm taking a brief hiatus from all of my writing projects here as I work on one that's a little bit more pressing just now.  I've written a 250 page, 32 chapter book entitled "Behind Bars" that pertains to the largely unregulated warehousing of the mentally ill and mentally disabled within our nation's prison system.  This book has been entirely written from my own first-hand experiences and personal observations so, as you can imagine, this is somewhat of a difficult write for me.  I'm now working on the third and hopefully final full draft.  Unfortunately, and because this book is going to be professionally published, I am going to be unable to make it public domain and share it here on Wattpad.  Hopefully I'll be able to return to my other projects here on Wattpad in another 2 or 3 weeks, though.  The projects on my Wattpad page are the ones that I truly enjoy working on, and I enjoy reading your comments and getting to talk to you about them even more so, too.  So, suffice it to say, I am very much looking forward to completing this round of work on this other project and getting to return to you here as quickly as I possibly can.
