(Cross-posted in 21 Essays…)

With apologies for the unexplained radio silence, I’ve been enjoying a temporary hiatus from both my blogs, Tour America’s History and 21 Essays.

During this dormant period, I’ve been devoting much of my free time to one more rewrite on The Poem Beasts, the young adult fantasy novel that my son and I wrote several years ago. A year ago, I published several poems from the novel on 21 Essays where they’ve received a fair amount of attention and praise. My goal is to have the next draft of The Poem Beasts completed by the end of January 2014.

I hope to return to regular posting of a restructured Tour America’s History in March. At that time, I anticipate making some significant changes to the blog in order to accomplish the original goal:  to cover more than 1,300 sites in six years. At the current rate of publication, it would be more like sixty years…

After Tour America’s History returns to steady production, I’ll turn my attention to reviving 21 Essays.
