I don’t think it would be possible to soak my heap of mulch any more thoroughly. Today, we had yet another series of all-out downpours…really furious cats-and-dogs master blaster cloudbursts. And so, the lawn continues to get higher, and the mulch continues to get wetter and heavier, and the grass beneath it gets deader. If only [...]

Unfortunately, the mulch pile in my yard isn’t going anywhere. I ordered it Friday, before I knew we were having company all weekend, and I did move a lot of it…but not all. A good-sized heap still sits in the side yard like a hill, or maybe more like a mountain, since it isn’t going [...]

Well, I’m still trying to recover from my busy holiday weekend, plus my busy first day back at work. Luckily, it poured rain this evening (and all day, too), so I had a good excuse to stay in and work on the writing this evening. I can’t believe I cheered for rainy weather…but honestly, it [...]

What happened to the weekend? It feels like it was never even here. Saturday, I saw Star Trek with my brother. Wendy and I had company from out of town Saturday evening through Monday morning. And Monday was by far the busiest day of all, when I tried to get everything done that I’d put [...]

Time for another change to this website. Today, I added a “Donate” button that will enable visitors to pitch in to bribe my muse. In other words, to buy chocolate “doubloons” for my wife, Wendy, who is most definitely a muse of high repute. Keeping her happy keeps me from walking the plank, and that [...]

My new Amazon aStore is up and running! I just set it up today, and I hope you’ll stop by and check it out. Just click the link in the menu bar at the top of this home page…the link labeled “Jeschonek Central @ Amazon.” When you get there, you’ll find a selection of books [...]

Today was a wild day, thanks to problems at work, but I did get through it. Tomorrow has got to be a better day, if for no other reason than that it’ll be a day closer to the long weekend. Beautiful weather today, though, and I did get out in it…to mow the lawn and [...]

I took some small steps today that I hope will bear future fruit. For one thing, I sent out 8, count ‘em 8, queries to editors for my new urban fantasy. I also got 5 more ready to go out! Then, this evening, my wife and I finally signed the closing papers on our refinanced [...]

As you might remember, I’ve been sick for about a week now. I went to one doctor at a local clinic over the weekend, and that individual informed me I had viral bronchitis. No treatment needed, time heals all wounds. But it kept getting worse, so I went to my regular doctor today. He called [...]

Bronchitis is not as much fun as you might think. I’ve had it a few days now, and it’s really putting a damper on my high spirits. At least I’ve kept working hard on the writing side, though, generating a query and proposal for my latest novel. I finished a bunch of revisions to that [...]
