Neglect

 

Webster's Dictionary defines neglect as; to give little attention or respect to, or; to leave undone or unattended to especially through carelessness.

I shall accept the first to define my own neglect in attending to this blog. I have no excuses, yet numerous reasons, most of which include writing.

Today, I made available for pre-order on Amazon my newest collection of poetry titled Dark Light The Poems of a Divided Mind. Depending on how long Barnes and Noble take to approve the hard back edition, it will also soon go on pre-sale. You will be able to get either, the e-book or the hardback on October 24th.

I have also been working on a new full length novel with the tentative title of Fatherless.

Now you know my reasons, excuses if you prefer, for being absent from the blog. During this absence I have discovered numerous ways not to promote my books. Perhaps I will go into the dreary details at another time, but for now, so as not to cause more neglect, I confess to you a late night revelation-I had better response from this blog than all the other vehicles combined. Sometimes, I guess, one must be buried in a landslide of failures before looking back at who or what got you there in the first place.

S, I have committed, only to myself at this point (don't take this wrong, I am just not ready to commit to anyone else) to write here, in this old friend's house, at least three times a week. I hope to be able to keep you apprised on what's happening in my library, poetry that I may be trying, or anything else that creeps out of the darkness of my divided mind.

See you soon,

Jim
