I’m close! Methinks? Divine In Essence has been struggling out of the birth canal for quite some time, but I daresay… any WEEK now? It’s all out of my hands, folks, and speculation is runnin’ rampant on the ramparts, but my new story collection Divine In Essence is almost upon us. (You can preorder all you want at that link, of course, no need to wait for anything in particular.)

I have created a marketing page for it, linked up top in the Menu. For now, it features the cover image and the description and the lovely blurbs, but it won’t be long before I start posting REVIEWS there. I found a few lovely folks who agreed to take a look, and for good measure I ordered up some paid reviews (I’m talking editorial reviews, from sites like Publishers Weekly, Kirkus, Literary Titan, Reader’s Favorite, etc.). We’ll see how THAT goes….

The pros of paid reviews: you can make them quietly go away if they don’t like your book! The cons of paid reviews: elitist stigma. In the words of our Greatest President Evah (FDR), “I welcome your stigma!” I didn’t do enough for I, No Other, sadly, back in the day, because I’m a marketing imbecile, but this time, at least, I’ll have some fucking reviews! Paid AND unpaid! Covering all the bases!
