Just curious what you are up to lately, I have not seem any writing from you lately. I hope things are going OK. Earle is a friend or is related? I am not sure whether you wrote something of him or not.
I am going to be in Michigan for my daughter’s graduation from Oakland U. and thought it might be nice to try to meet you, but from old addresses (I don’t know a current one) it looks like you may be to far south for diverting.
It seems that I remember in one of your Starman e-mails that you were considering writing another starman book, is that true?
Well since this is a comment for the pictures, I think it might be nice to have a comment on why the author took the picture with each.
Take care,
Thayne

It’s great to hear from you! Thanks for writing.
I live in Knoxville, TN, which is about 11 hours south of Michigan. I would love to meet you sometime but that is quite a lot of driving! Congratulations on your daughter’s graduation; that’s very exciting! My brother and sister will be graduating this May.
The pictures were taken by Earle Neil Kinder, who was my father. He died in 1982 when I was two years old. I have no memories of him but I do have a great many pictures he took, as he was a professional photographer. I would love to hear the stories behind them but that will have to wait until I meet him.
I have been doing a lot of writing lately but it has all been on a new series of sci-fi books I’ve been working on. I’m about halfway through the first in the series. I’ll try to post the first chapter in the next few days so you can get a feel for it. I haven’t given up writing, but working on a novel takes up so much time there isn’t much left for working on short stories! :)
I am still considering writing one of the two remaining Starman books (there were two we plotted but never wrote), but I’m thinking that will have to wait until I finish the new series I’m working on.
I hope you have a great day!
