Yes, that’s the game plan. My apologies for the lack of updates. I was editing The Dog Behind Me, teaching and there was the call of the foul ball — Arizona spring training beckoning. Back at it, I’m adapting my screenplay Newfie, Come Home! into a novella. Then, with Newfoundland English tongue planted more firmly in cheek, I will cast off aboard Stompin’ Tom’s golden dory to write the Great Newfy Novel. It’s rubbin’ me nerves right raw, waitin’ to set sail. Stay tuned, b’y.
