PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING MARCH 21, 2026

 Unfortunately there isn't much progress to report since last week. 😢

I'm still on Chapter 14 of the HUGH MONN, PRIVATE DETECTIVE prequel novel PRIVATE BATTLES; but at least I've made it into the 26,000+ word territory.

For the most part it just wasn't a good week last week. Too much happened that needed to be addressed that I wasn't expecting and I have no idea how this week is going to be with a doctor's appointment Monday as well as all the usual errands, household chores, etc.

Guess I'll just have to take it one day at a time.

And in case you missed it, John Lustig published my very first Last Kiss on Saint Patrick's Day. 🍀

In any event, I better get back to writing now.

Take care.

STAY SAFE!

Have a great week and I'll see you around the Internet.

MY FIRST "LAST KISS"

 NOW IT CAN BE TOLD! 😁

Fellow writer John Lustig bought the rights to the defunct Charlton Comics line of romance comics and along with other public domain material, turned it into a long running gag feature called Last Kiss, that can be found on Go Comics and other places, including his website.

Guess who's Saint Patrick's Day🍀 joke was published today?

That's right. MINE! 😎

Can you tell I'm more than a little excited about all of this right now?😉 My first foray into the world of comics as a contributor.

It's kind of like finding the proverbial pot of gold at the end of the rainbow🌈 or winning the lottery.

Hopefully in time as my muse and John's sense of humor permits, I'll have another gag or three to share with the world but between now and then, I urge everyone who needs a good laugh (especially nowadays) to visit Last Kiss on a regular basis for a little stress relief.

Sincere-Lee,

Lee Houston, Junior
