Weekly Update: A National Holiday
Greetings all
I've had a productive week, though not necessarily with all of the things I had intended to do. Saturday I did a reading at the Kansas Authors Club meeting. Had a great time. You can find my AAR on my blog at: https://robhowell.org/blog/?p=447. Of course, Sunday was for me a national holiday, the first full Sunday of the NFL. While I was disappointed in the Cowboys loss against the Giants, I can take solace in the quality play from Dak Prescott. He looks very impressive.
Quote of the Week
This week's quote is particularly apt, given that had the Cowboys had 3 more seconds, they might very well have one the game.
"We didn't lose the game; we just ran out of time." - Vince Lombardi
Works In Progress - Worked on making a list of future events and ensuring I was added to their panels. - I am also making progress on the next Edward novel, which will be called Where Now the Rider. Tentative release date is 30 November.

Spotlight
I'm adding a new feature to my email. Here I'll be including a link to someone or something I think is cool. This week I'm pointing you at the Kickstarter that my artist, Patrick McEvoy, is working on. As you know, I think he's a fantastic artist and he's lending his talents to another noir-themed mystery, this one a graphic novel that blends Cthulhu with Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett. You can find more info at: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/309827462/casefile-arkham-her-blood-runs-cold?ref=project_tweet
Let me know if you have any suggestions on the website, this email, or cool story ideas at rob@robhowell.org.
Have a great week, everyone.
