Dear Reader …

This novel has been a work-in-progress for four years. It's not that I wasn't working on it. I edited. I put it before my writing group (a great, big 'Thank You' to those folks is in order. I literally couldn't have done it without them). I edited, again. Finally, after a year of hard labor, I felt ready.

I could give a lengthy (and boring) story about publishing, self-publishing and the woes that come with it. I already spent a year on it, so I'd rather move on.

I love to write. I don't care about making money with my writing. I want to tell stories, I want to entertain. I want to have that initial idea and run with it. And then I want to tell you about it. That's it.

The other thing that really holds my interest is designing this website, this blog. Playing around with it, writing code and seeing what it looks like. It is so much fun. I know other writers have blogged chapters of their books. I think that's a great idea. While I love books, the smell of the paper, the tactile sensation of turning the page, it's time we embrace technology. There's no reason to stick to just one way of doing things. 

Having said all that, I'll be posting one chapter each week. Until the End. 

Enjoy.
