I'll send you an e-mail in a bit.<br /><br />I figured there probably would be more conflict as the story progressed--how could there not be! Now you have me curious!<br /><br />By the way, I love the family photos on your Website!J.B.

You suggested more conflict, and the book as it progresses 24 chapters, includes, a murder in the apartment building where Seamus' family lives (true story), bullies, drunken superintendent, predatory priest, etc. I will be happy to send you a copy (I bought a batch at wholesale at $3.25). I am on Facebook as Bill Tobin, Seattle, and have a web site www.billtobinbook.com. If you would like a copy let me know through my email: billtobin21@comcast.net and where to send it.

Good metaphor.<br /><br />If one is not bent on fame and big bucks (and I gather from your blog that you're not), the changing landscape is thrilling to be a part of, either as a reader or a writer. I used to view the teetering Conventional Publishing Industry as my missed opportunity to get my novels 'published.'<br />Now, I see it as a thrilling opportunity!J.B.

The marketing is somewhat the same (excluding the piracy viral-ity, which depends on theft, timing and great writing)in that the work gets out there, and the hungry come back for more (assuming that your chops have the chops.)<br /><br />The landscape of literature is changing tectonically.
