I'm so looking forward to this.

I have to admit - I'm the reader that isn't easily pulled into the story. Not that I'm exceedingly well read or selfcentered. No, nothing like that.. it's just that I respond well only to certain type of story telling dynamics which keeps reader glued to the text up to the point of losing sense of time while reading.. u know the type - obsessive persons that'll read entire novel in one go.

I know, I know.. I'm not the most common type among the readers, but - as I've said - I'm not the easiest reader out there and the whole premise of being "pulled into the story" is highly individual experience. 

That all being said - this author is among my very favourite few on this site. His imagination is amazing, his ability to depict and describe ideas and world and characters is brilliant and on top of all - his story telling flows perfectly, keeping amount of supporting, unimportant details (that'll usually make me personally skip paragraphs and whole chapters sometime) just right to provide enough details - but not too much to take away reader's attention/concentration from the main story line.

Just so y'all know - I've read all his novels in this series [Wearbears In America] in about two days time. Couldn't 'unglue' myself from my phone.. so, yeah - awesome series and great author. Absolutely worth reading. 

 Hello readers!  I just wanted to let you all know that I haven't abandoned this latest book.  In the last year, I went through another lay-off and bout of severe depression.  However, there's finally a light at the end of the tunnel for Grumpy.

I have a new job, which is great.  Doesn't pay quite as much as some of the flashier jobs I've had in the past, but the job security with this one is a lot stronger and I'm not perpetually worried that another lay-off is right around the corner.  To reconcile my budget with the new salary, we've bitten the bullet and have decided to move out of the FL Keys and back to central Ohio where we have a nice spacious century-old farmhouse waiting for us that is a much better and more affordable option.  Florida in the last decade has just gotten too expensive and too... Crazy.

As I write this I'm actually taking a break from packing.  The movers come tomorrow, and I will be home again in Ohio on Tuesday.  The depression is much better now and as soon as the stress of moving 1500 miles settles down, Ill be ready to pick up the story where I left off.  I've been re-reading the first five books again in my spare time, and my weary head is beginning to dive back into the world of our favorite werebears.

Thank you for being patient, and I promise that you won't have to wait another year for this story to reach it's exciting conclusion!
