Almost There
Next Tuesday, March 10, marks a few personal milestones for me. That day will see the release by Camel Press of my newest book, Squatter's Rights, the first Sam Quinton Mystery novel. This is significant, to me, for a couple of reasons.
One, it will be my fifth book release. This from someone who had only intended to write short stories to no end. Originally, I saw my entire writing career as horror short stories and nothing else. But about eight years ago that went by the wayside, at least temporarily, and here we are.
Second, Squatter's Rights marks the (I hope) first in my second series of mystery novels. This, also, is a bit breathtaking when I consider it. While none of my books have exactly flown off the virtual shelves, at the moment various publishers are still willing to take a chance on me, which says something or other. (Squatter's Rights actually had two small publishers making an offer, something else that was a first for me.)
I'm still not quite sure where this will all end, and it's pretty obvious I'm not going to be able to retire early, but so far it's been a rather interesting ride.
