Short story week

It is not like I haven't done anything at all. This week three short stories will be published. One in an anthology, an old story that I reworked (considerably) for the book. The second one, an all new story, will be published in the VN Detective and Thriller guide. And the third is a really short piece about the importance of research. The first two, the anthology and the guide, will be presented this Wednesday, May 30, during a special evening in Amsterdam. As you may understand, I have two good reasons to be there, apart from other goods reasons I have.

In deep quiet

I move about from France to the Netherlands. Now I am here, while I would much rather be there. Isn't that always the problem. And from one hospital to the next. Last Friday was memorable, I visited three hospitals. By the time I got back at the end of the afternoon my hospital tolerance was down to zero. Not much to yap about, so I keep quiet. No blog. Deep quiet. Is the best thing. 'Write when you get work', a friend of mine used to say. Which is good advice, especially if writing is your work.
