Well, today I am making my first official post on the diary. This will be a weekly thing, scheduled–at the moment–for Mondays. It will typically be late in the day, but it will be here. 🙂

My! The last month has been hectic. I’ve been frantically scribbling down my thoughts and remembrances for The Incredibly Irritating Irishman. I think you will enjoy it when it is all polished up.

I’ve also been stepping into deeper waters, and experimenting with all sorts of marketing ideas and so forth. More on that later.

The new book expands the circle of regular characters quite a bit, while deepening some of the familiar ones in one way or another. I am really excited about the finished first draft, and now we will sit on it for a few days and then it goes to the beta readers for their suggestions.

I might have room for a couple more of those if you are interested. I will take the first three who volunteer by sending an email stating your interest to riewriter@gmail.com.

Next week, we will have the kitten-naming contest here on the blog!
