Seven Days of Terror is now worldwide!

So today I got bored at lunch and pulled up the Internet on my pocket PC / cell phone and Googled myself. I really wanted to see if I was back up on Amazon yet – I was on there initially back when I actually released the book in April but shortly found myself unlisted – but much to my surprise I found Seven Days of Terror not only on Amazon, but being listed on websites worldwide as well.
I’ve enjoyed a handful of sales since its release, enough to treat myself to a new Logitech VX Nano wireless mouse to use with my laptop. He calls it the Acer writin’ machine, he does! With global distribution available now, I may actually start selling enough to go buy that Movado watch I had my eye on the last time we went to Sam’s.
I’m working on my next book now. I won’t give out any details except to say that it’s going to be probably four to five times longer than Seven Days of Terror, and just one story this time. The first chapter has been in the works for a month now and every time I sit down to bring it to an end, another idea flows through my fingers and the end seems to drift farther and farther away the closer I get to it, kind of like the proverbial pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. It’s in 6″x9″ format – that’s the smallest size I can get and still have myself listed as the publisher – and it’s currently thirteen pages and eleven sub-chapters long. If I could print it in the standard 4″x7″ size you see in the racks at grocery stores and pharmacies, there would obviously be more. But I like the 6″x9″ size.
I’m planning to start writing the twelfth sub chapter tonight. The last time I worked on it I started at page eight and ended up where it is now, page thirteen. My writing is very sporadic; it comes when it wants to and when it doesn’t, I can’t force it.
How many pages can I add tonight?

Oh, almost forgot. I put this here blog on Google Feedburner and you can now view my latest three posts directly from my personal Web site. Hey, I needed something fun to tinker with.

    Awesome! I used to write short short short horror stories, but always had a hard time ending them. I'd end up blasting through the last few pages and making a mess of it all.
