Two-for-one special

Okay, I know I'm delinquent in updating this blog. I've been busy. Really. But I can't tell you what I've been busy doing. Not just yet. More on that to come. But let me tell you, it's pretty big news. Not earth-shattering. But pretty big. Or at least pretty darned cool.

Now that I've teased you, I feel I've got to give you something. So I'm giving you a two-for-one, a double platter of news. Two little ones that add up to...I don't know...one mid-sized piece of news, I guess.

One, I've got an essay, "Recharging an Old Battery," in the just released "Humor for a Boomer's Heart" (Howard Publishing).

Two, I've got an essay-poem, "The Spirit of Christmas, in the just released "The Big Book of Christmas Joy" (Howard Publishing), which is a title misnomer, since it's really a little book, about half the size of an ordinary book.

For those who are keeping track, that now makes four essays I've had published in anthologies this year. I'll have two more published in an anthology that is due out before the end of the year. But that's the big news that I still can't tell you about.
