This-and-That

After several months of posting my Short Story (audio) Podcasts up on a service it looks like that service is requiring anyone who wants to listen to them to set up an account and login. I don’t blame you for not doing that! So, I’m “slowly” moving the podcasts to YouTube. I say slowly because YouTube doesn’t allow just audio so I have to do a little adjusting. But I’ll re-release the first 6 audio podcasts over the next few weeks. A brand new one titled, “Hello. I’m Driver Ed”, will be posted August 8^th.

By the way, all of my Video Podcasts can already be found on YouTube.

While we’re on the subject of my podcasts, a lot of folks have asked recently, “What are you doing? You’re all over the place!” Well, that’s me. I don’t believe in that rule of thumb that says you have to only write in one genre. I believe if you’re comfortable writing in different genres, then go for it. For example, I’m known for my outdoor recreation books on hiking, paddling, and camping but I love writing in general and I’m tackling a murder mystery, an historical non-fiction book on the space program, and of course, my short stories. Now, will they sell? THAT, my friends, is a different story, but I love the process and like I said, love writing so if anything I’m having fun.

Oh, and an update on the new book, “Best Dog Hikes Alabama”, my co-author Archer T. Dog is doing well with his cartilage and knee issues. We’ve done a series of “shake-down” hikes here along the Alabama Gulf Coast near our home which will be part of the book. The hikes in the book will once again be divided into the Alabama Department of Tourism and Travel’s regions – Gulf, South (Montgomery), Central (Birmingham), and North (Huntsville). Our first road trip will be August 19^th to do some trails in the South Region.

Can’t wait to get on the road!
