He IS still alive!

Hi everyone,

It has been quite some time since I posted any news.  The main reason is...well...there isn't a whole lot that is new.

1) Sales have slowed down some.  I'm not surprised since the holidays are over, but that leads me to...

2) Marketing.  That is one of the big weaknesses of self publishing is that you are kind of on your own to figure out ways to get the word out.  So that is really my BIG challenge right now.  I am trying to arrange gigs at a couple of more local schools and I am working on getting the book in a chain store that has branches all over the northeast (no, not Barnes and Noble.  I wish...)  The book would only be in my local branch, but if you have one of these places in your area, you could ask to have it there.  More on that as info becomes more firm.

3) Book 2.  Yes, I am working on it.  I have 4 chapters written so far and am plugging along.  I am not sure if I will be posting chapters as I finish them like I did the first book, but I will be sure to have stuff to whet your appetites every now and then.  Maybe a picture of a new dragon soon.

Anyway, stay tuned, and get the word out.  Anything YOU can do to help spread the word is GREATLY appreciated!
