This week I visited NYC to meet with my agent and discuss the status of my manuscript. It was an eye opening visit, especially learning the current state of the publishing business. In short, it’s quite the mess. The one thing that hasn’t changed is that everyone still takes off the month of August. Thus,…

Pear Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park
I did my last hike of the season to Pear Lake in RMNP. I love this hike as you pass Finch lake and a really cool lily pond. I wanted to go to the Hutcheson lakes above Pear, but after all the hikes this summer I was completely worn out. Plus, the fishing for Greenback…
Update on The Vintage Club
It’s finally recorded! Harry Shaw has finished his production, and now I am reviewing. This should take me a few days, then we submit to Audible. They are taking about six weeks. That means that sometime in September The Vintage Club should be available.

Arrowhead Lake Revisited
Prior to last week, I’d been to Arrowhead Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park twice. Here is a link to my post several years ago. The first time I got lost and by the time I got to the lake I had no time to fish. The second time I brought my two sons. We…
Lawn and Crystal Lakes in RMNP
I took a chance to go to Big Crystal in the first week of July. With its elevation and how the lake is tucked against the cliffs, I worried that there would still be a lot of snow. But I wasn’t expecting all the ice. It put a bit of a damper on the fishing…

Lost Lake and Lake Husted
Last week we did our second hike in RMNP, going to Lost, then Husted. I’m not sure why they call it Lost Lake, it should be Long Lake, not because the lake is long, but the hike is unbearably long. Round trip it was 23 miles. We started hiking at 6:30 am and got back…
The Vintage Club Coming to Audible
Today I finalized the contract with narrator Mark Nelson to turn The Vintage Club into an audio book. It will be sold exclusively through Audible. We’re hoping to have everything finalized and available on Audible by October 2020. I’ve been listening to Audible’s History of Bourbon, and the second chapter has some great medieval stories…
