Mt. Augustine steaming away at sunrise. This is what’s out my front window this morning. It amazes me I ever get any work done. Photo is from one of the web cams on the island, via the Alaska Volcano Observatory website, where there are more photos and maps and you can look up recent earthquakes and learn how to collect ash samples, if you were so inclined.
Just finished the first chapter of Liam5, aka Bones out of the Grave, and starting on the second. I think this is going to be one of the good ones, folks, all the usual suspects return and I’ve just introduced Wy to Damon Wolfe, a sexy movie star type on a fishing vacation in Alaska who I have just decided is going to be a recurring character.
If I don’t kill him off first. Which, as you know, I am prone to do on occasion…

Dana,
Small suggestion for you (and you know I’m always thinking about how I can ‘help’ you out)…. You have had such a terrific response to Silk and Song when you have posted excerpts. I think, especially since Liam has been on ‘hiatus’ for so long, that it would be in your best interest to start ‘preselling’ Bones out of the Grave by posting excerpts on your site. Personally I think it’s a stroke of genius. What do you think? :=)
Sandy, Sandy, Sandy. How did I know beyond all doubt that you’d be the first poster to this topic?
In fact (don’t hyperventilate now) posting a few chapters in advance of publication is a topic I’ve already raised with my publisher. My suggestion was four chapters, one a month for the four months prior to publication.
So Dana,
Does your reply to Sandy mean your publisher is interested in this new Liam title?
And I think you show great patience with Sandy although I know she is just trying to be helpful as she is always so thoughtful.
I am a perfect saint.
Dana…a fan from your days at Alaska Magazine
Not at all surprised to see you’ve now joined the Coast Guard..
just kidding.
Looking at the map I see you’ve left SE outta your book writing…we’ve certainly had a few things that would make the basis for a great story

Prince of Wales Island, Alaska
Indeed you do! I’ll have to look into that…
An entire family murdered on their fishing vessel at anchor one summer and the vessel set on fire…
The lady that was murdered at POW and her van set on fire with her in it…a connection to her young daughter
