Current Events
Currently working on next novel: Saved by the Bullet. It's the second in my Nebraska Mystery Series. The first is Life in a Casket.
I'm also working on a slim volume that addresses the writing of the New Testament (my Sunday project). This is principally just a for fun project and I doubt it will be published.
Currently reading, as far as I can remember, Hope Leslie, Tuer Napoleon III, The Code of the Woosters, a western by Johnstone, Ovid's Fasti, and I'm listening to The House of Seven Gables.
I'm also translating, for fun, Second Corinthians from Latin into English. I thought the Apostle was, at times, convoluted in Latin, but when rendered into English, if translated at face value, I discover his sentences can be still convoluted.
Photos:
Below are two photos from the Wildwood Historic Center. One (with the lamp and table) features gifts people might have brought to a wedding in the 19th century. The gift at the upper left end of the table comes from Judge Kinney, who plays a cameo in Life in a Casket.
In the second photo, our superb guide shows us how one could heat a curling iron in the bedroom.

ABOUT PRESTON
|
I live on a farm with my wife Sylvie in southeast Nebraska, not far from the Missouri River village of Brownville. I teach history, write, travel, and farm, usually in that order.

Sylvie at The Conan Doyle pub in Edinburgh. Legend has it the novelist wrote in this very pub.

We farm about 450 acres of soybeans and corn and sustain a wildlife population that includes deer, turkey, coyotes, and the occasional bald eagle and bobcat. Our close friend and neighbor who has some 70 plus years of farming experiences is running the combine in this picture.
