My friend, author David Michael Slater[1], recommended recently that I need to tell the next Bentari story.

Despite some lost computer files, drafts of several chapters for Bentari’s next adventure, I am following David’s advice.

Even despite the minor detail that the first novel is not yet published, I am back at the keyboard—allowing the spawned notion to wriggle from brain to page.

Time often seems in short supply. But if you don’t push the “Go” button, that old buzz-kill Death might arrive before you even try to find it. And what’s the fun in that!
