Today, this very day, I finalized the final draft of my new novel Stella Maris. This book is the sequel to my last novel What the Hell Ever Happened to Yuri Rozhenko?<\/a><\/p>\n

My mother Virginia Vernon<\/a> was the one who taught me to read, who made me the best reader in first grade by a country mile, and who instilled in me a love of reading and writing, and the one who had me reading James Thurber at five years old. She not only read all of my five previous novels<\/a>, she even edited some of them. <\/p>\n

I was anxious to have her read this book, only that will never happen. Only a few hours after I finalized the final draft of Stella Maris, my step father called to inform me that my mother had died suddenly and unexpectedly, that very morning.<\/p>\n

There were no warning signs, no obvious illness, no indication that her physical heath was in jeopardy. I honestly thought her and I had a lot more time.<\/p>\n

So here is another excerpt. I’ve already posted a few excerpts of this work<\/a>, and will be posting more. This book will come out in the next week or two. In the meantime, here is just part of something I dearly wanted my mother to read. You can read it for her.<\/em><\/p>\n

Chili and Cats<\/strong><\/center><\/p>\n

     Skye’s phone buzzed. It was a text from Lori.
\n      \u201cHow the hell do I get into your place?\u201d<\/em>
\n      \u201cHold on,\u201d<\/em> texted Skye. \u201cI’ll come down.\u201d<\/em>
\n      Skye came down and unlocked the various gates. Lori slowly walked up the steps with her grocery bags.
\n      Inside Skye’s place, Lori put her grocery bags down on the kitchen counter. She turned and embraced Skye.
\n      \u201cDamn girl, it’s great to see you again you fuckin’ old burnout!\u201d said Lori as she let go of Skye.
\n      \u201cHey, I ain’t old!
\n      \u201cYou’re almost thirty.\u201d
\n      \u201cHow the fuck do you remember my birthday?\u201d
\n      \u201cIt’s still etched on the one brain cell I didn’t burn out,\u201d said Lori as she tapped the side of her head with her index finger,
\n      Lori looked around Skye’s place. The front room served as a small living and dining room with a small kitchen table, a desk, and an easy chair that stood guard over a row of milk crates full of records. At the end of the record-milk crates row stood a tall bookcase crammed with books. A doorway to the left led to Skye’s bedroom. The small kitchen was separated by a tiled divider. The kitchen had an old stove and a very old refrigerator which appeared to be in good working condition, despite their advanced age.
\n      Skye had random pieces of artwork and show flyers around the living room. There was also one prominent club bill advertising a Neurosis show.
\n      Lori looked as if she had gained some weight, which would not be a hard feat for her. She had always been slim yet sinewy.
\n      She had finally braided her wild hair that had, back in their club days, exploded from her head due to neglect, running days of drug abuse, and far too much Aqua Net Extra Super Hold. She was still wearing band shirts and black jeans, having shown up in a black Adolescents shirt.
\n      \u201cWow, this is a pretty nice place,\u201d said Lori as she looked around.
\n     \u201cAin’t it though? I owe it all to Chelsea. She handed it over to me when she moved back to Idaho.\u201d
\n     \u201cYou live here by yourself?\u201d
\n     \u201cYep. First time in my life I’ve ever lived alone.\u201d
\n     \u201cNice, huh?\u201d said Lori as she started looking through Skye’s bookshelf.
\n     \u201cYeah, I guess. The thing is I’ve always lived with other people, like family or tons of roommates. It’s not bad, but it’s also kinda weird.\u201d
\n      \u201cNot enough chaos?\u201d asked Lori as she went to the kitchen counter and started unloading her grocery bags.
\n     \u201cI’m tryin’ to get away from chaos,\u201d said Skye as she went to the fridge and brought out a couple of beers.
\n     Lori looked over at the stove as Skye handed her a bottle of Moosehead. \u201cDoes this thing still work?\u201d
\n     \u201cOh yeah. The stove and the fridge work just fine, even though they’re old.\u201d
\n     \u201cSounds like us,\u201d smiled Lori.
\n     \u201cHar har.\u201d
\n     \u201cOkay. Time to make chili!\u201d
\n      \u201cYes! How long is this chili gonna take to make?\u201d
\n      \u201cNot long. I already cooked the beans. That’s the part that takes the longest. There’s a cat in your doorway.\u201d
\n      Skye looked over her shoulder. It was Danny Boy, sitting in her doorway, looking around her living room.
\n     \u201cThat’s Danny Boy,\u201d said Skye.
\n     \u201cWhat? You’re kidding.\u201d
\n     Danny Boy walked into the kitchen and walked up to Lori. He poked his nose up at Lori. Lori knelt down and stroked his back. He let out an approving meow and started purring.
\n     \u201cMy neighbor’s cat,\u201d said Skye.
\n     \u201cThey just barge into your apartment?\u201d
\n     \u201cThree of them do. She’s got a big orange tabby that won’t come anywhere near me. And she also has a little white cat that hates everyone except my neighbor Jolene.\u201d
\n      \u201cOoh! I bet I can make friends with the big orange guy.\u201d
\n     \u201cHe’s usually by the potted plants, over by her door.\u201d
\n      Lori cautiously crept out of Skye’s door, tip toeing on the landing.
\n      Skye heard Jolene’s voice through her open door. \u201cHello.\u201d
\n      \u201cI’m looking for a large orange cat,\u201d said Lori. Skye could only hear her through the open doorway. \u201cSkye says he doesn’t like her.\u201d
\n      \u201cThat’s Tigger. He can be strange at times.\u201d
\n      Skye struggled her large cooking pot out of the lower cupboard and searched for other kitchen utensils as she heard Lori and Jolene talking outside.
\n      Skye finally walked out onto the landing.
\n      \u201cNo way!\u201d exclaimed Skye.
\n      Lori was kneeling down, gently petting a reluctant looking Tigger.
\n      \u201cThat cat has it out for me,\u201d said Skye.
\n      \u201cLori is just more zen, I think,\u201d said Jolene.
\n      Skye took a step towards Jolene’s place. Tigger started to shrink into his corner while glaring at Skye.
\n      \u201cCome on Tigger,\u201d said Jolene. \u201cSkye’s a nice lady.\u201d
\n      Lori looked at Skye. \u201cOh man, someone just called you a lady.\u201d
\n      Skye felt something rub up against her leg. She looked down and saw one of Jolene’s cats.
\n      \u201cSee Tigger?\u201d said Jolene. \u201cDanny Boy likes Skye.\u201d
\n      Lori looked up. \u201cNice name. Me and Skye once had a… friend named Danny Boy.\u201d
\n     \u201cDrug dealer,\u201d said Skye.
\n     \u201cWhat? A pot dealer?\u201d asked Jolene.
\n      \u201cNaw. Something a lot stronger,\u201d said Skye. Skye looked at Lori. \u201cDon’t worry. Jolene’s down with the street.\u201d
\n      \u201cI was gettin’ into that kinda trouble before you gals were born,\u201d said Jolene. \u201cYou think you invented it?\u201d
\n      \u201cMost of the cats seem to like Skye,\u201d said Lori as she started scratching Tigger’s cheeks. Tigger squeezed his eyes shut as he tilted his head.
\n      \u201cSkye has to check in on me, to make sure my cats are okay.\u201d
\n      \u201cWhy?\u201d asked Lori, \u201cYou forget to feed them?\u201d
\n     \u201cI’m an old lady. She has to make sure my cats are taken care of if I go in the middle of the night.\u201d
\n     \u201cJesus Jolene, you ain’t gonna die for years,\u201d said Skye \u201cMost of your cats will probably be gone by the time you check out.\u201d
\n     \u201cYeah Jolene, what the hell?\u201d said Lori.
\n      \u201cI worry about my babies. I want to make sure they’re always all right.\u201d Jolene looked at Lori. \u201cI know that sounds odd.\u201d
\n      \u201cNo way. I felt the same way when I had pitties,\u201d said Lori.
\n      Jolene looked Lori up and down. \u201cYou dress just like Skye.\u201d
\n     \u201cI do?\u201d
\n     \u201cYou’re both wearing black jeans and black boots and you both have black shirts.\u201d
\n     \u201cIt’s just the uniform of our tribe,\u201d said Skye.
\n     \u201cYeah, we don’t wanna lose our Gilman cards,\u201d said Lori. \u201cThe punk police will take them away!\u201d<\/p>\n
