Continental Drift and Publishing

Roundball continues. My pick to win is still alive but everyone else has gone home. Such is life.

At this point I would like to say I picked Florida Gulf Coast to go deep into my bracket, but unfortunately I'm not a very good liar.

I'm inching forward on self-publishing my book, Absolution's Curse, but it looks like it will push into mid April. Only dead snails and continental drift moves slower than book publishing.

But I do have exciting news to share. I have a book cover!


What do you think?

I'm excited. Makes it feel real.

Anyway, I'm hoping to continue moving forward even if healthy snails and rising mountain ranges are laughing at me.

March is a Special Month

Why?

It contains my birthday. Is there really any other reason needed?

Not enough? Okay.

How about the start of a certain basketball tournament with maddening rules restricting my ability to call it anything other than "The Tourney who shall not be named." (Am I going to be in trouble for writing that?)

How about the start of Spring Training? (I'm allowed to use that name, right?)

How about it holds the birthdays of my Grandmother and Grandfather who raised me?

How about it was my Grandfather who first got me interested in reading for reasons other than school assignments?

How about it's the month I've targeted for my first book release?

March will mark the publication of Absolution's Curse in honor of my Grandmother and Grandfather and the sacrifices they made.

March is and will always be a truly special month for reasons far deeper than just my birthday.

So, if you'll excuse me, I'll get back to formatting and tweaking the pages into publishable form.

Oh, and I'll be watching that round ball tournament thingy too. And go Braves.
