Boxing Day (a marketing blog)

The story has been released! It’s on Kindle now (and for right now, on Kindle only.) What is it about? Hmmm. People who work in a cafe. People just trying to get through the holidays (as many of us do.) Mysterious people. Industrious people. People with broken dreams, people who need people …. okay I’m veering into the cheesy realm.

There are several scenes that take place in the cafe, so if you’re into cafes and diner food, this is probably your thing.

What else is there? Adultery, loneliness, trains, some dancing, a lot of driving around. It’s set near Seattle, in a fictional Pacific Northwest town.

I set two goals in mid-October: one was to release a story by Christmas, and the other was to write a story about people getting through the holiday season and not having such a perfect time of it – but making it anyway.

This story is short for something sold as a book: about sixty-two pages, or 17,500 words. That’s right on the borderline between a quaint literary form called the “novelette” and a novella. So I suppose it could be called either thing.

Anyway, I do hope people will read it, of course. If you’re scared to purchase an entire 62 pages from an unknown writer, I’ll be running a five-day free promotion of the book starting on December 26, or Boxing Day. Coincidentally, the book is also called “Boxing Day.”

I might blog again before the end of the holiday season, but if I don’t, have a happy one if it’s natural for you, but if it isn’t, that’s okay too. Just stay alive. You’re not obligated to do anything but take care of yourself.
