Success!

The Light at the End of the World has been published! It's currently on Amazon.com in both printed and Kindle forms, and it's selling surprisingly well. It may be that with all of the building hysteria over the Mayan calendar and 12/21/12, something with "end of the world" in the title is a natural fit with the cultural zeitgeist. It may be a fluke. Whatever the reason, I'll take it! I am very pleased by the apparent level of sales. Someone is actually reading my work! That's catnip for writers.

I just hope that those unnamed readers are enjoying the book.

I've started working on Catherine's Wheel again, and I'm about four chapters in. It's got a fairly complicated plot, but that makes it fun. Hopefully I'll be able to put it down in words the way it is in my head. I'm always concerned that what I have in my head will always be a hundred times better than what comes out through the keyboard. It's like my visual arts - I can envision the most amazing paintings, but when I'm done, the finished work always has more in common with grade school renderings than with Rembrandt.
