A few months back, we traveled north for our nephew’s graduation. Traffic is always a mess on our route, and so this time we decided to try something different. Imagine my surprise to find Bremen, Georgia, along the way… Well, how about when I discovered that one of their librarians is from Bavaria?! It was so wonderful to meet her and the others when I popped in, dropping off my book in the hope that they would stock it.
Thank you very much to all the staff of the Warren P. Sewell Memorial Library!
I’m now in Texas too thanks to the library there at LeTourneau University (Longview). But AWB was in Texas even before it was a book. A nice Texan was one of my original beta readers. Can you guess which one from those listed in the acknowledgements? [EDIT (11/9/21): As of today, my eBook is no longer showing at LeTourneau. This happens sometimes, and is always a surprise. In this case, I’m leaving the link. If you attend the university there, feel free to ask them why. I try to keep my front page links up to date, but don’t have time to constantly review every single link in every single back post. Did you know I was once available on Google Play, and that my Amazon Kindle version just yesterday disappeared? I’m looking into the latter now, but in any event intend to keep a tighter grip on things distribution-wise with my upcoming book!]
In other news, preliminary edits proceed apace. I’m talking now about my next book, the adventure story—still so far it is from being ready. My wife and I have done over fifty double spaced pages so far; however, regrettably, that’s still less than 13% of the manuscript (14,409/113,563 words). And I haven’t even gotten to the rewrite chapters yet… Yeah, there are going to be a few sections that need more of that developmental touch. When we get a little closer I promise I’ll provide some concrete teasers. Maybe even some pages depending on how things go…
That’s all for now.
Let me sign off in witch’s fashion with a ‘back to school’ curse:
May the students you abuse today imprison you tomorrow.
