No matter where you pour the water on the ground, sooner or later it will still end up in the sea.
Coyote Run, a YA novel Eric and I wrote together some years ago, was published as an e-book on Amazon two weeks ago.

On those shelves are the manuscripts I wrote, year after year after year. About forty plays (I've lost count), about a dozen novels, and a dozen screenplays. You finish them, you polish them, and then you look ahead to the next, so they go on the shelves and you forget about them.
Now, Coyote Run has been published. And Summoning, Book One of the Moon Wolf Saga, was published last year. You have to believe that, one way or another, nothing will be wasted. It's still breathtaking when you find that it is indeed so.
