Blowing my own trumpet

19 months
One lost job
One overseas move
Two domestic moves and a week of hotel surfing
One divorce
And one fantastic new relationship later
I HAVE FINISHED MY NOVEL IN PROGRESS.

I haven't written the synopsis yet, and if I can't find an agent and all that hoopla I might well put it up on the internet for free.

But it is done, which means I can give The Brothers Karamazov/Japanese textbooks the attention it/they deserve.
