As you can imagine from the title of this blog, my right wrist finally gave up after years of abuse. What I thought was a case of carpal tunnel, turned out to be something called DeQuervains tenosynovitis. I'd never heard of it but it's real. Apparently it affects mostly women, although golfers can also suffer with it. Mine is on the right side, because I'm right-handed and it's the one I'm constantly using. The tendons on the thumb side of the wrist are affected. Repetitive hand or wrist movements will make it worse. And mine got worse because I waited to see a doctor and while I was waiting, I continued doing my work, which is typing my books and retyping my books as I edit and correct until I'm satisfied. Then add to this the daily chores that always need doing.
I have my 4th book almost finished. It's a little longer than each of the first three because I'm having fun writing it. The book takes place along my fictional coast of Maine and includes mention of some real and some imagined towns and cities. Two of the real ones are Portland, Maine, where I worked at one time, and Yarmouth, Maine, where I grew up. However, keep in mind my descriptions of them may not be accurate. This is a book of fiction after all.
The main focus of Book four is a racetrack on the Maine Coast South of Deanes Island. The crime in and around Fairhaven is increasing and it all seems to point to the racetrack. Noah and his men are embroiled in the mess in different ways but they keep fighting to bring peace back to their town.
Love and romance are still a feature of the story and Noah and Isaac may each find a new entanglement, maybe even love. Murder, hate, money and love of power are all still available in the quiet little town of Fairhaven.
