Now I write while sitting on our balcony with my fuzzy editor, Loco-Kitty.?I'm currently editing, writing, or dreaming up plot points for the Cup of Blood series of novels (sequels to The Penllyn Chronicles). When I'm not doing either of those, I hang out at the Santa Monica Pier and give historical walking tours of the pier....
