Ghost Story
I'm at the point in my -- what to call it? -- writerly existence where the people who've not-read my books might be half-wondering "Where's What's-His-Name? I haven't seen him posting about his books I won't ever read. I miss the opportunity to not-read his new work."
No worries, Gentle Reader -- there'll be a couple more novels from me coming out in '24, albeit under pen names, as they're in F/SF.
This year has been a bear, and as I think I've written before, it's hammered my process (and self-conception/deception as a writer for the past three decades) into a shallow, unmarked grave, but I still have a number of works that'll come to life in the next couple of years. So, there's that.
As the Twit finally sinks beneath the waves, it'll be interesting to see how the social media landscape evolves for the folks who more adroitly manipulate it for their promotional purposes.
Books are Old Media, sadly. There'll always be readers, and they'll always be niche. The days of some across-the-board literary blockbuster are long behind us. Now it's just the survivors squabbling for the scraps.
So, I'll be serving up some scraps in the next few years, which I hope people enjoy. They're good works, I believe in them, even as I am certain they'll vanish in the void like everything else.
