Red Room Where the Writers Are

 The recent violent beating, burning and dragging of a young cognitively impaired adult stuns us.

Hi everyone,

“[1] I celebrate myself,

I'm new to Redroom, and I'm still learning the ropes here.  I'm best known for my short fiction, and my newest book, Months and Seasons, came out six weeks ago.  I now happen to be madly reworking and polishing my first novel, The Brightest Moon of the Century, whose publication date of March 7 is firmly in my sites.  I need to finish this book this month so the editor and book designer have time to do their magic before the Advanced Reading Copies are created for reviewers in November.  This is a business of deadlines.

I think I'm through with author book signings and readings at bookstores. The idea sounds great, but the reality is somewhere between depressing and horrifying.
