I am told I should do this blog thing if I am ever to get my book off the ground.  It's supremely scary--I am not looking forward to having to read it again to finish my sequel.  Won't go thru a self-publisher again if I can help it--they print on demand, and the books are never seen physically unless I wangle one into a brick-and-mortar.  I'm not a salesperson.  Need a literary agent...
