I look forward to the part where I get to post stuff. I look more forward to getting this website built correctly! We’ll be back once that happens.
Update, Sept. 27. OK, so the website is built – it’s basic, serving simple purposes, a home base to list my books (one at the moment, but optimism prevails) in the series and to have the newsletter sign up form (developing an email list of readers will allow me to be in touch with you). And this blog will offer tidbits of stuff that goes on in my head and heart as I work on the project and especially focus on the next novel in the series. I think it’s good for our dear readers to get to know me – the guy who’s writing about LGBT superheroes (I utterly adore my characters) in his attempt to provide readers with enjoyable, meaningful, adult entertainment. As it’s good for me to get to know our dear readers – please leave comments as you wish and we can hopefully have a lovely dialogue.
I will write more in these posts about why I’m writing this series. As my sister, one of my beta readers, said, “funky premise for a presenting cis-het dude to write.”
I have learned that, for me, anyway, writing the book (or rather, telling the story) has been the easier part (I write professionally for a living and have written two other novels – more on that later); the website setup, email service setup, various business aspects of doing this, were all a real learning curve. But the systems work – and I’ve set up a prequel short story as a giveaway to folks who graciously sign up for my occasional newsletter. I will not hound folks with that but will simply be in touch, eventually having the happy duty to inform readers that number two in the series is coming soon, and then, voila, it’s here! Et cetera. (Short hand for yes, please go buy the book and keep the fun happening.)
Till next time – I leave with what seems to have become my credo.
Everyone deserves their very own superheroes. Sometimes you just have to tell the story.
