It's been about 6 months since my last post. (Sounds like the start of a confession). Been drafting and rewriting which is really endless work - I'm a slow reader and a slow writer. WIth regard to Gone To Ground, it is now available on Audible, we have over 100 Amazon reviews, and for one brief moment it was in the top 25 under crime and action (David Baldacci is reportedly not losing sleep).

When I wrote Gone To Ground, one of the questions I wanted to pose was this: How do you force a community/neighborhood to relocate? There are disasters, both natural and manmade. Crime is a big motivator. And so is paranoia and outrage at the surveillance state. Enter the current onset of immigration enforcement and facial recognition which showed up in Chapter 27. Add to that combination the mind-numbing buzz of drones and most neighborhoods in the Shoe were pools of gas looking for a flame.
