Inaugural

I've tried several times to start blogs. My efforts to write and maintain a blog go all the way back to dial-up. Part of the problem was I just could not find a host/platform I liked. I was really happy to see Goodreads add this option.

The reason I am starting this one is to assist in promoting my writing. That is it. I have been writing my whole life, and my writing is about creating fiction.

The main book I am trying to promote right now is titled A SIBLING IN ALWAYS. I started on that book in 2010 and finished it in 2015. In truth, I wrote a short story that would be the basis of the novel in 2008.

I am convinced, if I could just get people to turn its pages, they would like it. I am further convinced they would like it in a way that stays with them. I have books I read as a teenager that are still with me nearly 20 years later. All pretension aside, I think A SIBLING IN ALWAYS does have that sort of potential.

Indy writing is a lonely affair, so -- if there is a secondary goal with this blog -- it is to connect with an audience.

I have started an add on Goodreads to try to get it out there. I have also ran ads on Amazon, but have not found them to be very effective. Other forms of indy marketing aren't very effective either as they are geared towards genre work.

We'll see.
