It's now 100 percent official---the "Racing Royalty" series from the University Press of Kentucky has a May 2026 launch date, which means my book on Holy Bull will at last be taking wing. I will still have to plow through copy editing and final proofs, but the goal is finally in sight. The really tough part will be deciding which horse to go with next before making my pitch to the editor for the next project.
I've finally finished plowing through the Daily Racing Form archives in quest of Chief Johnson, so it's back to Newspapers.com at this point. I should be able to target my searches much more effectively now, though, which will be a considerable blessing.
Juggling a couple of different book ideas (and trying to decide on a third!), putting more material together for the website here, the occasional article or book review, and taking care of everyday life---sometimes I don't know if I'm coming or going!
