Book News

As of mid-May, I have returned my annotated proof of Epico Bayou to my offset printer, Vaughan Printing, in Nashville, TN. Roughly four weeks should pass between the time Vaughan receives the final, signed proof from me, giving them permission to print, until the completed, shelf-ready book is shipped to the publisher (that being me). I am, therefore, looking at late June to have Epico Bayou in hand. Never again will I commit to a completion date for a book--from now on, any teaser synopsis at the close of my most recent book will state "Coming Next." I have proven grossley negligent in getting a book out on a deadline, and for that I apologize to my readers. My failure is not from lack of trying, but from unforeseen setbacks and life getting in the way.

Updates to the Web Site

I've written three new newletter articles, two on marketing, Focusing on My Marketing Plan and Continuing Thoughts on Marketing at Craft Fairs, and one on the value of creating A Quality Physical Book, which addresses cover and interior design as well as quality book manufacturing. Finally, I've added one more article on Quark mechanics--a lesson learned by one novice (myself) and now passed on to any of you who may be interested in how one excerpts one page from a book and makes a pdf out of it. Check them out if you think they might interest you.
