Welcome to Hovering Giraffe…Yet Again!

Welcome to the new and improved — or, more accurately, improving — hoveringgiraffe.com! A year and change ago, I switched my site from Wordpress to Squarespace and quickly proceeded to do absolutely nothing with it. This lack of activity can be partly attributed to my fundamental laziness being compounded by the energy-draining monotony of endlessly blurred days that came with COVID, but it can also also be blamed on an unprecedented level of business. Throughout the pandemic — and during the last six months or so in particular — I’ve had more editing work than I ever thought I could ever be offered, much less handle. At the same time, I’ve been busy with a series of writing projects, most of which have yet to see the light of day. And, of course, last August my wife and I welcomed our beautiful baby daughter to the family, along with the massive time-suck that came with her.

But as the calendar ticked over to 2022, I finally found a moment to breathe and finish getting this site more or less up and running, thanks to the help of some fine and admittedly underpaid designers. While there’s still more work to do and the site will continue to evolve over time — from fine tuning some of the aesthetics to fixing the broken formatting on my archived blog posts so that I can re-post them in this space — we’re in good enough shape to start sharing some updates.

And trust me, updates will be coming, starting with a pretty big announcement about my second novel that will be coming in the next few days.

In the meantime, all I’ll say is it’s good to be back.

Talk soon.
