Okay, I'm almost ready to publish

I'm putting the (last, I hope) finishing touches on the third book about Seelye. Yes, finally. It's been shameful--shameful!-- how long it's taken. (Note the sentence structure that does not involve a personal pronoun accepting responsibility for the LOOOOOOOOOOOONG gestation period. We writers can be slippery, sly shirkers. Though in my defense I have fretted over this a whole heck of a lot.)

In the past, I published on a holiday (Valentine's Day, April Fools Day) so I can keep track of when I did it. (I've been blessed with the short-term memory of an invertebrate. And not an octopus, they are quite intelligent, I understand. I'm thinking earthworm.)

Anyway, it takes me about a week to figure out the whole formatting thing and recheck the book yet again so let's say it'll be live by Christmas Eve. I'll put it in the AMazon system 24 hours earlier but it can take up to another day to show up.

Thank you all for asking me about it long after I'd have forgotten all about it if I hadn't been writing it.

I hope you enjoy it.

Best wishes for a wonderful, happy holiday!
