An Update

As an element in the process of capturing the public imagination, the Special Edition has been a great experience and success. I say this despite the fact that, so far, I have only sold 14 copies. Ask any unpublished author whether they think they could sell 14 of their unknown novels for $500 each and I think we can guess the answer. Still, the reality of the situation is that I have a choice between continuing with this or moving on with my new idea. For my backers, I would say that the best thing to do is take the route most likely to work. Although I am still open to working with publishers and agents, my fundamental trust lies with the public and I continue to look for ways to engage directly with people. I have no illusions about how difficult this will be. But....

I love challenges.

For those who have and continue to support me, I thank you and will try my best to deserve it. For all my backers, no matter what happens, you will always have the right to complete the purchase even if I make it by another route and the transaction becomes a one-way deal in your favour. I will not grudge a penny.

I am in the full swing of writing Dreamwords and will probably have my head down for a while, but will still post here when I think I have something to say that you might want to hear.

The best way to learn what is going on is by registering for the newsletter. That way, you don't have to check the blog for irregular updates.

Thanks, as always,

Paul
