August passed by quicker than I thought it would, and we're getting into that season where there's one holiday after another after another. I had intended on having sample chapters of The Things I Left Behind and Souls of Silica up by now, with a preemptive strike from Between the Wires, just to see what it would do for sales. If there really is something to having a sample chapter up before the book actually publishes, I have yet to find out about it.
Anyway, there's still work to be done, but being muddled in the editing phase, this whole website is basically three steps behind where I'd like it to be. Once Between the Wires is edited, Covered, Copyrighted and so forth, I've got to do basically the same thing for the second rendition of Owens Valley. I get that this is a supposed to be some sort of business, and that it should be treated with the same effort as the actual writing part, but I'm just not a salesman. How To Sell Fiction was written partially on that premise. How can I make this work and stay as far away from it as possible? I'm slowly starting to think you can't.
So sorry for the lack of insight and promised updates. Stuff is happening, it just has nothing to do with the world wide web. Sample chapters are next on the check list, I'm just not giving the check list much attention.
