TRI-WEEKLY, TRY WEEKLY, OR TRY WEAKLY
August 5, 2013
"Mountain Musing" is about to change from its twice-weekly delivery dates (Mondays & Thursday) to once-per-week, on Tuesday. The reason? Because another blog will join it and Saturday's "Campfire Culture" as a third Roland blog offering. The plan is to introduce my coming "The Dogged and the Damned" e-book in serial form in 800 to 1,100 word segments, posted tri-weekly (Mon, Wed, Fri).
At least, that's the plan. It'll be a novel and innovative way to promote a book via internet serialization. (Remember the Saturday Evening Post serials from years ago?) While posting it three times a week will be a challenge, it's one to which I'm looking forward. My tri-weekly postings may turn out to be "try" weekly, or even "try" weakly. But I'm committed.
"Campfire Culture" is, of course, devoted to an outdoors focus, while "Mountain Musing" strays much farther abroad--wherever I want to go (like sharing this exciting new concept). The oncoming new blog will be devoted to books, perhaps eventually getting into my upcoming stories: like the one about Yogo sapphires, the world's greatest gemstone discovery (even greater than South Africa's Kimberley diamond yield). Or perhaps I'll use the new blog to introduce the decades-long letter exchange with Bob Elman (my late, great editor), and how he taught me to write. First, though, will come installments of "The Dogged and the Damned" in all it's raw, newly updated, based-on-a-true-story about a soldier suffering the effects of terrible WW II battles, and his war at home:
* And finally, sneaking under the wire comes "The Silver Yoke," final book in my "Valediction For Revenge" Western series, offered FREE at Amazon's Kindle Store, August 6 - 10. Click Here to View
