In the beginning...

Middle of July. Beside me on the left is the book I'm supposed to be getting in the computer. Beside me on the right is the book I set aside to get all the ones I've already finished published.

I can't say I didn't know this was going to happen. I've published and marketed before. That's the you-planned-to-do-something-else-too-ha-ha word, "market." Books don't sell themselves, you know.

I do have dreams someday they will. I'll have enough work and enough following I can say, "New one," and go back to writing. It's so much fun! That's one thing I know readers will be sure of, I was having a lot of fun, adventuring with my heroes in all those interesting places. Creating foods, music, societies and, of course, laughter and love, while taking out the bad guys and fixing the societies headed for disaster.

That's one of the things that's different about my books. Most are of a type that have been very infrequently seen in the last thirty years, man against society.

But now, it's market, market, market, groan.
