Well, since it is almost time to renew my subscription for webhosting service, I decided it was the perfect time to avoid paying $112/year and use my old laptop as a server – a temporary server for the present time. There was no way I could do this on my own, so I had my son-in-law, Lawrence, do the heavy lifting with me serving as a cheering squad on the sidelines.
It is a big learning curve, but the deed is now done. What you see is my relocated website to my Dell server using Ubuntu 22.04 and CyberPanel and WordPress-dot-org. I don’t have all the images from the past, but that is sure to change in the near future.
On the writing front, I am now in the running for two Saskatchewan Book Awards for the last published novel, Time’s Children. Wish me luck. As well, I have just finished the first draft of a very different novel.
The new novel is tentatively titled: Ink Spilled From an Eagle’s Cry. It is literary fiction with a bit of a Jungian and an Indigenous framework. I guess it could be thought of as a Jungian Romance.
The Indigenous aspect is based on the Seven Grandfathers’ Teachings of Anishinaabe [Ojibwe] culture. This is going to be the first novel I will attempt to publish using the traditional publishing process. If accepted, it will likely be a few years to actually become available for reading. Wish me luck
