Hither & Yon

As I'd blogged before that I'm shut of indie horror, there remains some, I don't know, backlog work that I'll be putting out there over the next few years, just so it can "live" and not be forever marooned on my laptop.

I liken it to bands' B-sides -- worthy works that, for whatever reason, didn't get the front-and-center treatment other works got over the years.

So, there will likely be a few more indie horror books coming out from me, but these are careful creations of mine, beneficiaries of my prolific writing habit over the years, and tendency to revise work until the time is right for the release of it.

I have no expectations of those works finding their audience, since I've groused enough that I think the horror that I write is just not what horror audiences look for, but I don't let that stop me from getting it out there.

Anyway, my current focus is in other genres, areas that I hope will be able to deliver audience for me. I'm not particularly hopeful about it, given the generally dismal state of publishing (whether trad, indie, or self-) these days, but I write, therefore I am.

Not to put a tease out there -- I mean, I might obliquely reference a work-in-progress, but I am the last to spill the proverbial beans about a work that's in-progress. Gotta keep the steam in the boiler, versus venting it on social media.

Just know that I'm working on some book projects that I think are fun, worthy, and worthwhile. The publishing landscape continues to roil and fester, but I'll not let that stop me from turning work out.

I've got a lot of ground to cover before I finally surrender to the inevitable. Let's just hope I can find my audience before I'm through.
