Remarkably, it's been almost four years since I started this blog and two-and-a-half years since Cypress Walls was published. That's an over-extended life cycle for any book, but especially so for one independently produced with only 1,000 copies in print. I've realized for some time now that it'd be better for me to start contemplating and writing new stories rather than aimlessly trying to garner attention for this one. Thus, we've reached an end, of sorts. While my book will still be available for purchase at a variety of on-line retailers, I don't plan to write any more posts here and one day soon you'll be directed elsewhere should you forget this and decide to check-in.
I look forward to keeping up with all of you on the social web and passing along any relevant news pertaining to my writing. As always, thanks for checking in! As my good friend Michael Brophy is fond of saying, "Bye for now."
It has been a good run and we are proud of your work and the book. I can't wait to read what you write next.
