BACK – to FitzGerald Press Blog

Sorry I’ve been away, readers. Day job is crazy-busy, home-improvement projects, COVID-follies galore and more.

Thanks to my followers, many of whom read some older posts they may have missed, and to some new followers, who read/liked some posts they’d newly discovered.

I’ll try to provide some consistency for a good while, but am working on my new book, Double-Dutch Life, and also pursuing additional publishing outlets. I have worked hard to properly develop my Amazon Author Page, and feel that I need more visibility, as I’ve not sold many units.

If you read any of my books, please provide a review. I appreciate ratings and reviews, but reviews reveal more about what I need to improve. Already, I know that in blog posts, I can develop themes adequately, but that in my books, I don’t like filler, but need to develop plots and characters for more depth.

I was also told I need to create more conflict in my fiction caper novels. I’ve avoided too much conflict, as there has been too much in life, and this was my way of coping. As late beloved author of the hilarious and yet poignant Fletch mystery series, Gregory McDonald said,

“Writing is not a profession, occupation or job; it is not a way of life: it is a comprehensive response to life.”

I suppose writing is all of the above things, but for me and probably many, it is certainly the latter thing.

Again, I appreciate my readership. The internet is glutted with a ton of good writing and graphics, much like a delicious scalloped potato or crème brûlée dish, so if even a few, come to the table to read my blog, I’m proud to serve up some posts to entertain, inform or inspire.
