I welcome you all to Uncle Joe Stories and ask your indulgence for what inactivity and inattention to you and yours has occurred of late.

The game is afoot.

As of 12:44 AM this morning, the first chapter of a new book is off to the copy editor for review and comment. Additional reviews are scheduled and anticipated. As soon as the responsive edits and rewrites are accomplished, Chapter 1 will be published on this web site, right here, in front of your eyes, for your reading enjoyment.

If everything proceeds smoothly, a new chapter will be posted at regular intervals – not too close and not too far apart. This is the first time I have attempted to serialize a novel in installments for you to read as the book is being produced, so I’m not exactly sure how the timing will work. The good news is that it won’t be long for the first Chapter — hopefully. So, stay tuned.

In the interim, I plan to issue about three to four new blog posts each week, if possible.

In addition, I plan to publish a new Uncle Joe story for Easter.

Thanks again for your patience,

Grandpa Jim
