Nothing Profound…Just Some Updates

Since it’s been way too long since I’ve made a blog post, I thought I’d do something, even though I don’t have much to say right now…

Boldly Going Nowhere

I had mentioned that I had submitted a story for the  Star Trek: Strange New Worlds fan fiction contest. Unfortunately, my story was not selected as one of the stories. I plan to put it on the blog sometime soon: I want to re-edit to include some “deleted” scenes that were cut in order to make the contest’s word limit. Since they aren’t publishing it, I can put it back the way I want…

Getting the Word Out

I’ve added myself to a couple of sites that highlight authors and their works. You can now find my profile on Author’s DB and The Literary Net as well as GoodReads and Amazon. You can also find me on Facebook and Twitter. I do have an account on Pinterest and if I ever figure out what to do with, I’ll let you know.

An Event!!

I have an event in the near future! I will be doing a signing featuring local writers at the Barnes & Noble in New Hartford, NY from 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM on Saturday, May 21st. I’m really excited because most book shops don’t carry self published books for sound economic reasons ( publishers buy back unsold books; if the shop doesn’t sell the self published book, they are stuck with it). I am happy that the Colgate Book Store is carrying my book, at least for a while. I’m really excited to at least get a crack at reaching another audience in New Hartford.  If you’re free, I’d love to see you….and love it even more if you bought a book 🙂

Slow and Steady Wins the Race…

I’m working (very slowly) on the sequel to The Reluctant Captain. I think I’m about a third to half way through the story. I’ve written myself into a bit of a corner right now and I’m trying to figure out how to write my way out of it.  So bear with me, it is coming….sometime.

That’s it for now. Hopefully it won’t be another couple of months before I post again.

Until next time, Happy Journeys!

Mike
