Demanding
This second publishing lap around the track has brought with it a few processes and Live And Learns, not least which is the ever-expanding world of print-on-demand publishing.
I sat with a printer I’ve known for ages, discussing a whole other project not at all involving the Waltzing In Perdition Chronicles. When I discovered his ability to work as closely with me as I prefer in publishing a book, I decided right then and there to migrate everything I’ve been working on elsewhere to working with him locally (great). Which means a hands-on and much more personal way of dealing with things (non-negotiable).
Which is ToddSpeak™ for I Will Have Total Control Or Kill You All Trying.
I’m very excited about the second book in the series because, with it, I’m able to start shaping a more visible (to me) path. A Beautiful Hell was really a book I never intended. That is, every story (save two) was written years prior with no plan whatsoever to one day be published. When it turned into a book, my biggest frustration was that I never wrote anything progressively or with any continuity in mind.
That bothered me then and bothers me still.
But with On Flying Blind I’ve been able to form a direction I intend to consummate in the third book. And that excites me almost as much as getting to work with a local printer.
Excuse me while I go chain myself to the keyboard and finish this sucker…

That’s GREAT news…
I love your writing. It is as you speak; hilariously real as life! Thank you for sharing this gift you have.
