Still plugging away at the novel and have written several short stories. Gravelight moved from Delaware to LA and once they are settled we'll start working on the classic horror series.

I'm working with Gravelight Press to put out 13 classic horror books with new intros starting to 2023. I'm also working on a novel and some short stories. I've written about 75% of the novel. I hope to finish a rough this summer. Gardening has been getting in the way of writing recently.:-) Thanks for asking Christopher!

Hey John, I'm using this window of time, when publishers aren't sending me books, to catch up on the backlog of books I already have waiting. I know it is hard to explain to writers the number of books I get sent a year not to mention the books that I really want to read. What I would do if I were you is find some reviewers that aren't as busy as I am. I'm sure you have written some fantastic books and I hope they find the audience they deserve.

Thank you kindly sir! I'm always glad to hear someone refer to their books as a library. You are welcome in mine as well! I see you are a Chatwin man as well. It reminds me that I'm long overdue to reread them so I can review them. Great to make your acquaintance!

You're my most well-read GR friend, so can you help me with some recs? I'm interested in books that are:
* Written in English originally (not translation)
* Published, say, after 1950.
* Most interested in novels of about 50k-120k words (maybe 180-400 pages). Not that I don't read short stories or longer sagas, but I find this is a good length. And let's talk about novels, not plays, of now.
* As long as it tells a good story, I like it, although my fav is love stories (NOT romances). It's surprisingly hard to find excellent love stories, that are not shallow, not boring, not predictable.
* NO horrors, dystopian, and probably not mysteries (although I used to love Christie.)
I'd really appreciate your suggestions. ^_^
