Next Book

People are always asking me "When are you going to publish book number 2?"  It's almost like asking the newly married couple when they are going to have their first baby.  At first I just wanted to enjoy my first published book.  Which I am doing.  I am trying to get carried in bookstores and trying to get booked for tv interviews. 

But, alas...I am working on book number 2.  It isn't about the Maya so sorry to disappoint all my wonderful Maya followers and fellow Mayanists. Although, future Maya works are not all awash.  My friend and Mayanist Carl de Borhegyi is deciphering and interpreting pieces of Maya artwork and other closely related ancient art, that is ground breaking.  I will continue to share his findings here on my blog.

In the meantime, however, the new piece I'm working on is fiction.  It would fall into the mystery, suspense, thriller category.  So far I've written around 10,000 words.  I attended my first Aikido class in the name of research and will be attending a few more.  Thank you to Cory & Faith at the Kyoshin Aikido Dojo for letting me be an observer.  I do hope to get to try out a few of the moves so I can truly describe the feeling of it to my readers.
