Yes, I joined the unwashed masses in cyberspace and started a blog...

Among other things, it has the first 7 chapters of my novel. Remember to scroll down to start at the beginning if you're interested.

I'm sending off the next portion to my Editor next week, so I'll post more soon.

Thanks.

Just posted chapter 10. And some shots of recent glasswork. Thanks.

Hey, just got a request from an agency for the full ms. Looks like "Running Black" might get picked up after all.

Here's hoping.

Congrats man! Let us know how it goes!

I have to commend you on your glasswork. Amazing stuff. Good luck with the agency! I hope you get picked up!

[Dentatus]

Well... just wanted to drop in and say hello.

Finding an agent/publisher certainly is an uphill battle. They measure their response time in months, not weeks.

So, in the meantime, I've put the book together at Lulu and made a preview available.

Thanks.

Enjoyed the preview of your book. I think you've got a good shot at getting a slice of the market. Your world is pretty well-established and feels confident and concrete. Your people are intriguing (I like the concept and back-story for the Triplets) and your use of the technology is excellent. I like the speed of your combat, not getting into too much detail, showing us through your words just how quickly your people work.

I got good imagery while reading it. Very nice stuff. Congrats on finishing it/the progress you've made with it! Hopefully you get picked up soon!

Thanks very much. Glad you enjoyed it. One of the best writing tips I ever got was "Don't write stuff people skip." It's a tough balance between pace and detail.

I was also considering hiring the cover artist to work up illustrations for the Prologue and first 5 chapters, then posting them free online. sort of an online novel with graphics.

anyway...

Thanks for looking it over.
