19. Well, I'm STILL writing a novel, several years later.

I am making headway, though my biggest goal is to tie together all the odd chapters I've written and need to include in the story.

For those that don't know (or remember) it's about a young woman getting turned into a djinni and then being responsible for bringing more of the same into the world. I'm basing some of that on futures read in Robert Monroe's second and third books, about the future of humanity. I've got other themes going on, too, with the main conflict of one djinni going "rogue". I'm still working out just how she does, and I'm using that spirit encyclopedia to find just the right negative-influencing entity

I've already worked out plots for two more "books" after this one. I'll also be e-publishing, when I figure out how to do that, too
