NOTES from the BIG CHAIR

Deadlines have kept us away for the past couple of days: Working on "pirates" (I assume you guys know about that) and a forthcoming story about a crack unit in the Army National Guard... don't wanna show my cards on that, yet, so stay tuned!
Also, my sister, Annette Smith Fowler, and her friend, Dawn Busbin, are in New York doing the three-day shopping and theater thing. We hope to get an update from Annette, later today or this weekend.
Oh, I almost forgot... was informed that we've earned a spot on the South Carolina Literary Map (once there, click on Richland County, then scroll down). I saw several of my author friends and many of the living and late, great writers from South Carolina's rich literary history. Many thanks to anyone who had anything to do with our earning a spot. It was a pleasant surprise.
And lastly, 107-years-ago this very day, the United States began its blockade of Cuba and the Spanish American War was on (the 21st is considered the official beginning of the war, but the 22nd was the day the first shot was fired.).

Semper Fi and "Remember the Maine!"
