First of all, I'd like to announce that my novel The Auctioneer will be available as a free Kindle download at Amazon.com today (Monday) through Wednesday. You can just click on the picture of the book to the right on this page to take you there. If you haven't read it yet, this is a great chance to get it for free. If you like it, please leave a nice review on Amazon. If you don't, please just keep it to yourself. But I think you'll like it.
I got a nice message on my Facebook author page - https://www.facebook.com/garyspraguewriter - from a woman who read Bobby's House and wanted to let me know how much she enjoyed the book. That's always nice to hear. I really think more people like Bobby's House than any of my other books. I personally like Rock Star, but Bobby's House definitely has more action.
Yesterday was Easter. We had the usual egg hunt in the living room, but it was kind of easy for Sam and I think that next year we'll hide them throughout the house. Maybe even outdoors, weather permitting. I spent the afternoon spraying bleach on my shed to remove the little mildew spots and spraying them off. It worked well, and the hose peeled off quite a bit of paint so I won't have to scrape as much. I'm hoping to paint it by next weekend. After that, my next project is to clean the mildew spots from the house and paint it. The mildew shows because the house is white, so I need to remove it before painting. Because I'm very sore - particularly my shoulders - just from the little work I did yesterday, I may need to enlist a couple of teenagers who want to work for very little money to help me.
It's nice out again today. Because it is school vacation, I may take Sam to the beach this afternoon. I really should be writing, but that can wait. I have an article to write for Redbeacon and then I really have nothing that absolutely needs to be done.
I started watching Deadwood last week. I watched the entire series 5 or 6 years ago and thought it was just about the best dramatic series ever. After watching a few episodes this week, I have to say I was right. The character of Al Swearengen, played by Ian McShane, is one of the best ever on television. It's very rare to see an actor who captures a role so completely that he doesn't seem to be acting. I seem to remember that the series took a big dip during Season 2 but recovered for Season 3, the final season. I'm almost done Season 1, so I'll find out soon enough.
