We are heading back to the US at the end of the month. our visas are hung up in red tape and our Schengen time is running low. So, back to the States for February and March, during which time my wife has book tour for a couple weeks, then back to Portugal for most of April, and back the States for May, and back to Portugal for June and July.
I have very mixed feeling about going back to the US. We’re taking the first week of February to survey the housing market in LA. And there are one or two meetings regarding possible TV stuff. Then back to Vegas, where at least Amazon works and the pizza is better.
Query: I am setting up a substack as a place to write about my/our books, especially around the 25th anniversary of Animorphs and the possible TV series. I am helpless with anything remotely technological. I need help getting things up and running, and possibly more long-term help – I literally don’t know. I wonder if anyone here is in that sort of work. This would be a paying gig, I’m not looking for freebees.
