Writing Update
I'm going to be honest--I'm not a natural blogger. Part of it is that I'm simply not good at short form writing. Anyone who's read my books knows that I tend to err on the side of too many words rather than too few, and my blog is no different. Which means I don't blog that often, because it feels like a writing project in and of itself.

Oh, thank you for jumping in! The more feedback the better! And you're definitely not the only reader I have who doesn't use FB, so I think it'll be a good idea to shift the pre-release stuff to my own site for this new book. I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the blog, btw, thanks for mentioning it! ;D
