A Revision Update, and Revisiting Obsessions of Old XII

A Revision Update:

At last, the end is in sight. Forty-eight chapters of The Saint of Santa Fe are pretty much ready, leaving only Chapter 49 and the Epilogue. Locking myself away in Moravia, Costa Rica has yielded the desired results. Erinn and I will be traveling back to Panama this Saturday, which would still give me a couple of days to finish revising the novel. Thus, more than likely the next the posting will contain the news that The Saint of Santa Fe is done.

From that point I'll be moving on to making the changes Arte Publico Press has requested for publication of Meet Me Under the Ceiba.

These are busy, but very exciting times with the convergence of two works reaching culminating stages on their paths toward publication.

An Invitation to Revisit an Obsession of Old:

Racism often arises in public discourse that a society may consider harmless. Such an instance arose in Panamanian sports, and I felt the need to respond.

I invite you to read, or reread, Acknowledging Prejudice.
