Audio Version of Flank Hawk being Proofed

`

I've received a copy of the audio files for Flank Hawk. I and my publisher are reviewing them, trying to catch any minor errors that might have crept in. The quality of the reader (Michael Slusser) narrating the story is excellent.

I've long been a fan of audio books and the fact that Flank Hawk will soon be available as one is extremely cool.

I'll post more news as it becomes available.

What I'm Currently Reading

`
It's rare for me to be reading two books at one time, but currently I am.

First, I'm reading The Problem of Pain by C.S. Lewis. I've read it before (as well has having listened to it several times on CD). It's an interesting philosophical book that delves into why pain exists in the world. In addition, I am preparing lessons for the Adult Sunday School Class at the St. Paris UMC this spring as it will be what we're reading.

Second, I'm reading Confessions of a D-List Supervillain by Jim Bernheimer. So far it's a fun, fast read--quippy and humorous and keeps me turning pages. He's done a great job converting what's normally comic book (or at least graphic novel) material into a short novel.

Funny Commercial

`
I came across this commercial while grading papers and the TV was playing in the background.

I think it's funny. Plain funny!
