I finally took the plunge and published my novel. Honestly, I should have done it years ago, but final edits and good old-fashioned fear kept me from doing so. And, to double down on the honesty, I don't think I'm the same person I was when I wrote this book. I'm still happy with it and all that, but I think if I started on it today it would come out differently. Not better or worse, it's just I've been through a great deal these past several years.
Recent events have stirred something in me. Made me take a second look at what's important and what I want to do with what's left of my life. Or it might be better to say that the incremental improvements I've made over these years have been accelerated by a return to focus. Making me far less tolerant of bullshit, including my own.
I won't bore you with any more details. I'll let my novel do that. All I can ask is that you give it a chance. I'm not very good at selling myself, or my work. Making the mistake that quality can speak for itself and people don't need to be tricked into buying stuff. But, let's face it, we do. So, hover your mouse over that buy button and close your eyes. Imagine the most beautiful desirable thing you can conjure, that hitting that button will make that dream come true. It won't, but just imagine. Then, just hit buy.
For those who do give it a chance, thanks and I hope you enjoy it.
