Happy New Year from So Cal!

Happy New Year to all, wherever you are. As for me, I find myself starting 2024 in my home of Southern California, spending the holidays and a little more with friends and family.

We've had some big waves here this past week (San Clemente Pier above) and as a lifelong surfer, I had to get out in it. Being a little out of shape for it after so much time in Europe, I took a beating, but it was still fun! Now that the holidays are winding down, and the waves as well, it's time to get back to writing, so I thought I'd give an update on how things are progressing.

First off, I'm making good progress on Nathan Grant book five, which also has a cover design now that I'm excited about:

I'm planning to have this book finished and released by sometime in the spring. When I have the rough draft completed, I'll put the book up for pre-sale on Amazon and keep you posted here and through my newsletter.

One thing that has slowed me down a little bit with this one is that the plot involves a movie that is being shot in Rome, and when I started thinking about ideas for the movie plot within the book plot, I came up with a script idea that I really liked. It ends up, I decided to write the script and shop it around, so I'm working on that as well as the novel at the same time. Both are coming along nicely, though.

Otherwise for 2024, I plan to have Nathan Grant book six out later in the year.  I'm still having fun with this series and want to keep going with it as long as I can, with no end currently in sight. 

That's about it for now. I'll be here in So Cal for most of this month, then head back to Budapest at some point. All in all, I'm hoping for the best this year, as we all tend to do. I wish you and yours all the best in 2024!
