Untitled
Well, things are looking up a bit. A book club in Midland has decided to read my novel and have me join them as a visiting author. As a result, I sold a few books and turned in a profit of $18 for this week (Week 33). That brings my total for the year to $818.88.
I guess that's starting to look respectable . . . by D-list standards.
In reading news . . . I had intended to start reading William Walsh's book Without Wax
but, I got sidetracked and started reading The Snowfly . . .
I do intend to come back to Without Wax very soon. Do some googling of it, and you'll find very supportive reviews. A book worth checking out. Handsomely designed. As I understand, the main character is a male porn star -- and yet treated by the author as a human being.
The Snowfly is an addictive thing. 464 pages, and I'm flying through it. It's got mystery, violence, sex and . . . fly fishing! As I read it, I wonder if this is how reading a Grisham novel feels. It's not very cerebral at all and, when it gets heavier, it gets heavy about fishing. It will most likely become a fly fishing book in the fly fishing literature canon -- though much less literary than River Runs Through It or Big Two-Hearted River. If you like fly fishing or books set in Michigan, this one is for you.
On a final note, www.amazon.com still has a copy of my novel left. Won't someone go buy it?

It looks like Amazon finally figured it out; they now have three copies of your novel in stock.
I finished it recently and will just say that I really enjoyed it. I'll probably comment on it more another time.
Joe,
I'd really like to hear what you thought of the novel. Thanks for stopping by the blog. I hope you are doing well.
Jeff
