Blog # 1

I confess I don’t really know what blogs are for. Here is mine. I’ll use this for writing about writing and keeping my dozen of fans worldwide up to date on where I’m at on finishing books. Oh, and for the inaugural post I’ll mention that I just started a book giveaway on Goodreads for The High Priestess. If you’re reading this on my website, you probably already know;)

I’ll also use this to post answers to any common questions that people ask me in one convenient (lazy) place. A couple of people have asked why I’ve left The Spiders of Halros available for free. There are a few reasons. It’s the first book in a multi-book series, so presumably if someone likes it they’ll buy the rest. I’m not totally happy with the start of the book, it’s a little weak and busy with too many characters coming at the reader too quickly. I separate the main characters as quickly as possible to mitigate that, but it’s a flaw in the book. The rest is pretty good though… and it’s free. So it’s not free because I don’t think it’s any good, but because I think it could still use some work and I haven’t any desire to fix it at the moment. The second book is fine…not free. The final reason The Spiders is staying free is because I think it’s a good, fair way to let people see what they’re getting from an author they've never heard of. If you liked the second half of book one, you’ll like the rest. (I don’t know how to put that into a blurb on the back so… free)
