Saw your name on a post or two and couldn't believe it - good to have you back! I'll ask the question everyone else is, how are you and what have you been doing?
<BB<
Good to be back! How am I? Overall pretty good. What have I been doing? Well, let's see.
In October 2009 I got engaged. In December 2010 we bought a house. In April 2011 we got married. In June 2011 I started self publishing a novel that I'd been writing/ editing for years. I published it online, one chapter each Friday, from June through August. The whole thing's online now. (It's free).
Also in June we got a who is currently the bane of my wife's 's existence.
And you?

I married in 2005, moved back to the Isle of Wight, couldn't find a job so started commuting over to the mainland, after a couple of years that was too much and so we moved back over to the mainland and I now work at a University and we have 2 children.
No novel yet, though. So, what's the link? And what is it about?
<BB<
The main website is: http://www.greenbanditpress.com. The "cover page" is at: http://www.greenbanditpress.com/00cover-0/ The Table of Contents is at: http://www.greenbanditpress.com/0toc0/ And the story starts at: http://www.greenbanditpress.com/0prologue0/
It's a story about a retired attorney/ blossoming artist who picks up a hitch hiker while moving from Tennessee to New Mexico. The hitch hiker is a former con-artist turned private detective who just happens to become a coyote under the full moon. Together, they fight crime.
There's kidnapping, murder, secret societies, pirate treasure, and a lot of mexican food involved.
I just now came across this, hope you don't mind that I clicked links and stuff...GREAT cover, really like the blog illustration and the novel cover...if you don't mind, I'm returning shortly to do a little reading.
Yes, Adriel, the illustrator, did a first rate job! I hope you enjoy my text as much as the illustrations

I'll have to see if I can find some spare time in which to read it. I'm sure I had some once upon a time...
<BB<
Well, not to turn this thread into an ad campaign, but I will say that each chapter is guaranteed to be 20 pages or less. So you could read it a little at a time
Which I am, even through a temporary loss of internet...very good so far!
I'm glad you're enjoying it!

I'm enjoying it too, chapter 1 down.

Good to know you're enjoying it, and that at least some of the hits on my website aren't bots

So my reading a chapter a day or two approach is beneficial, as I keep having to log in?

At the very least, it will keep my advertisers happy with multiple unique page views

Irv!!! Nice to see you around again. Although, as I wasn't here until two days ago, I guess I could say that to anyone I meet.
Look forward to reading your but have to just now.
