Deep breath.
Here goes.
Big announcement.
For me, anyway.
I am going to publish a book. It is a collection of stories called Punk Party and Other Accounts of Mischief, and lucky you, dear Subscriber — you’re here on the ground floor, ready (forced?) to take the climb with me. (Fortunately for you, you can always unsubscribe. Me? I’m stuck here to the bitter end.)
The writing has been done for a while — four short(ish) stories and one novella. Except for one of the stories (resurrected from the vaults of the mid-1980s), I wrote them all over the past three years. A few of them appeared briefly on this very website.
The desire to publish these fictional tales has always gnawed away at me, but I continued to search for reasons not to do it. Now it’s 2021, and quite honestly I ran out of excuses at around the same time I ran out of patience with people not wearing their mask over their nose. And that was back in March.
A nice, long holiday break gave me an opportunity to get my lazy bones in gear. I tweaked my website, worked on the art, created videos to promote the book. There’s a book trailer coming this Friday, January 8th. You can bet I’ll pester you again when it goes live. It’s been interesting to mingle the other side of my brain — the animation side — into all of this.
Not much more to say, except to ask that you subscribe to my mailing list if you haven’t already, follow me on Twitter and Instagram, and come back on Friday for the big Book Trailer premiere.
Here’s to a great 2021 everyone!
Excellent…Looking forward to it all!
Thanks. I’m pretty excited about it. Where did the holiday go?
I am excited for the events to unfold!
You already know what I’m thinking. I can’t wait! I’m a fan.
Yea! Wanna see it!
What time on Friday should I open the champagne? Are you doing a podcast? A YouTube?
The phone lines will be a twitter.
