Merry Christmas... is it really Christmas?

Have you ever had one of those days where you get working on something and then you look up and it's a couple hours later than you thought?

Yeah... that was the last six weeks...

Lisa has been running subjects for her dissertation and teaching (a lot....). So, she's been busy.

Meanwhile...

I have finally finished the first draft for the second book  (got that?) in the Johnson Farm series (just over 290 pages (71,304 words)). In this book our young hero gets ordained in the church, discovers people aren't always what they seem, and discovers precisely why you never get in between two fourteen year old girls who are angry at each other and carrying weapons (even pretend ones)😨😨😱.

Lisa is still hoping to defend her dissertation this spring, which means she needs to get her whole document written by mid March 😅.

Hopefully in about the same time frame I'm releasing the first Johnson Farm book for sale (Tune in in the coming month or so to find out how to get some cool book launch related swag😎).

In other news Lisa's music folks are doing a significant part of the Sacrament meeting this Sunday (Christmas). So she's working hard on that too...

Now that NANOWRIMO is done for this year and the first draft is in the can I'll be more regular on doing blog posts again (and Lisa will do some too when she gets the time). So, stay tuned for cool shiny things (including some that you can own), school news, book stuff, and other adventures that are sure to come in the next year!

That's it for this one...
There are books to write and things to do.
Merry Christmas everyone!

And for those wondering how we're going to get all this done...
