 Closer and Closer
It's been an interesting spring.  Between the unusual weather (I found myself picking tulips in the snow last weekend) and the delays in the publication process for The Handyman's Reality, I've been thinking a lot about that John Lennon lyric, Life is what happens when you make other plans. (I think I have that right.  If not, my apologies to John.) 
 
Happily, though, I can now report that the new book is entering the final process before it will be available to the public.  I thoroughly expect to have links to online purchase opportunities on this page by mid-May, and hope to see The Handyman's Reality gracing bookstore shelves in early June.  Whew!  Thank God we're almost there.  And that's all I'm gonna say about some of the unexpected setbacks that have delayed the release date. 
 
In the meantime, I still have another book to crow about, so a reminder that The Handyman's Dream is still out there, and since the new book continues the story of the first, it's only practical to read Dream before Reality.  So here's a link to where it can be easily purchased online:
 
 
Oh, and by the way, I'll have some new Imixes posted on Itunes within the new few weeks as well.
 
Keep checking back, 'cause there should be a lot for me to report over the next month or so.
 
And now I'm off to help put together a garage sale.  Who says authors' lives aren't glamorous?

When I'm Not Writing...
 
UPDATE:  If you are on Facebook I hope you'll join the NICK POFF Author of the HANDYMAN series group for discussions, updates, and more. 
 
 
 
 
The sad but honest truth is that most writers need to supplement their income with something other than writing.  I've worked in the radio industry since the tender age of sixteen, and for the same two radio stations for the past twelve years.  We call it The Hotel California -- you can check out but you can never leave!  It's amazing how people go, but then seem to come back at some time, including me.  Radio has been good to me, and although there are still times I regret not sticking with the writing thing at an earlier age, it's been an interesting ride. 
 

Things I'm Enjoying....

Songs from '08-'09 I Think Are Cool

Second Chance  - Shinedown

Show Me What I'm Looking For - Carolina Liar

Chasing Pavements - Adele

Mercy - Duffy

Apologize (fea OneRepublic) - Timbaland

Stop And Stare  -  OneRepublic

And of course, the Oldies But Goodies I've recently added to my Ipod:

After the Love is Gone - Earth, Wind & Fire

Baby Come Back - Player

The End of the World - Skeeter Davis

The Edge of Seventeen - Stevie Nicks

We Don't Talk Anymore - Cliff Richard

Le Freak - Chic

Dance With You -- Carrie Lucas

The Heart to Break the Heart -- France Joli

Dancin' The Night Away -- Voggue

In The Bush -- Musique 

I Wanna Be Your Lover -- Prince

We're On the Right Track --  Ultra High Frequency

The Break -  Kat Mandu

Forever - Pete Drake   (This is the strangest MP3 I have ever purchased on Itunes.  I can't decide if it was taken directly from a really abused master tape, or recorded from an LP.  The right channel actually drops out about fifty seconds into the song.  Bootlegs on Itunes?  Can it be?  Oh well.  It's one of my favorite songs from the early 60's, so I paid $1.29 to have it on my Ipod, but I don't recommend anyone else pay for it unless they love it as much as I do.)
