It's been a while since I have been here.  So much happening for me that I had to put the writing career on hold.  Many of you know I was in the process of completing Scorpion, the follow up to Serpent.  I did get that book about 50% completed, but I met an amazing man through a wonderful new "on line" friend.  This amazing man took me under his wing and taught me a lot about the craft of writing and convinced me to go back and re-write Serpent.  So I am doing that.  It has been a long and difficult journey and I am beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel.  I am hoping it will be done by late spring of 2013.  Once it is completed and posted on Amazon.com and here on my blog...I will have a special offer for all of you that ordered the original Novel.  I will have a limited number of the new novel which is going to be retitled The Head of the Serpent .... signed copies available to previous owners of Serpent for a one time only price of $10.00 each.  I'll keep you posted as to when this will happen.  You can email me anytime from now on.... here...to washburnchronicles@gmail.com to request your copy.  It will be on a first come first served basis, and the limited edition will be under 100 copies.  Thanks to all of you for your patience and kind words of encouragement.  You can also join me on facebook at rondarling-storyteller.
