I have neglected this blog for a while to write a novel “Jade:The Law.” The book is now finished except for editing and the cover. Once those are finished, I will be back to blogging. “Jade:The Law,” my ninth novel is scheduled for e-book publication in September and print publication in November. Print takes longer.
Jade:The Law is in some ways a sequel to “Jade: Outlaw” as both books share many of the same characters.

The men and women of the Bible were a sorry lot. The women were wanton, the men helpless to a woman’s smile. Adam ate whatever Eve gave him to eat.
