Thanks for letting me ramble about the process. Considering the size of the book (some 300 pages in MS Word) it wasn’t a terrible amount of effort, even taking the “long way” around. A drop in the bucket compared to how much time it took to write them. If there are other writers that are on the fence, I urge them to take the leap.
For those of you who are reluctant to buy a book from a guy with a strange name, I generally tell people one thing about this book: “There will almost certainly be one story that you really like. There will also almost certainly be at least one story that you really hate.” I hit a few different genres and writing styles – it’s unlikely that anyone will like every single story.
For those of you who buy a copy, I hope you enjoy it.
