about me

Don't forget to give The Flesh-eating Diplomat from Outer Space by Marvel Gumshoe shelf time. All the royalties will go toward helping children suffering from emotional and psychological trauma.


10/25/10

I have been noticeably absent for the better part of six months. There was a reason.

By May The Keeper and the Rune Stone had reached # 18. I was thrilled, but I also wondered how much of that was on the strength of the story, and how much was due to my involvement on the site.

I decided to see what would happen to The Keeper and the Rune Stone with no help, no PR, no encouragement on my part. It was hard - but I went cold authoturkey.

I screwed up my courage this morning and checked, and am delighted (and so relieved) to see it has only dropped twelve spots!

Forgive me for not doing so before now, but explaining my absence might have affected what I hoped to learn.

I have four people (in particular) who were immediately supportive, and very, very kind, and I appreciate it more than they know. They are Columbia Valentine Scot (Patricia), Harvey Ardman, T Mackenzie, and Alexander De Witte.

And...... their books are as good as they are kind. Give them a gander.


Did I comment and not back the book? Did I not thank you? If I missed a reply, a thank you, or you did not get back to you about your book, it was not intentional. Please feel free to remind me.
