Let's try this again

NOTICE:

Just in case you didn't! This post was forward dated so it will stay at the top for a while...giving everyone a chance to respond. YES, that was a hint if you have not yet responded! Anyway, what I want you to notice is that the latest entry, day eighteen of Trail of the Archmage is posted below. Enjoy!


Somehow, for the first time in literally hundreds of posts, Blogger actually let me down. This post disappeared into the void sometime after it was published. I was wondering this morning why I had so few responses to the request. Anyway, just so we all know that Arvil Bren is safe...I use a feature that e-mails every post to an e-mail address I set up exclusively for that purpose. Which is where I went and retrieved this:

Hi all! This has been a hectic period, coupled with Arvil going through a stretch that I have not been looking forward to writing. Once again I fell off schedule. Friday's episode is posted, and today's should post later today to catch me up...if not there will be two tomorrow for sure.

Note...I did get that done!

Your patience through the turbulence is greatly appreciated.

So here's the exciting things that have contributed to the turbulence:

I'm sure most of you don't really look much at the header up there at this point, but if you do you will see that it changed. Arvil's Dusty Tomes, which is the archive of the first hundred and fifty days of his journal, has been deemed 'complete', and the current adventure Trail of the Archmage has its own new site. In being 'complete' the first volume of the journal opens some doors that a serial cannot pass through, and I will be approaching Bethesda Softworks regarding publishing options. Many of the great comments you have left over the past months will certainly contribute to that effort, and I thank you more than I can express.

In the wake of my thanks I have a request for your further support. Two requests actually. The first will take just a moment of your time. At the end of this post is a small link that says comments. Please click on that link and leave a very brief comment; just your city and country will be fine. It is becoming important to know not just how many views the site gets, but how many regular readers there really are...how many that are willing to take just a moment of their time anyway.

The second request is familiar territory. Find new readers. There is a new twist to this, since they no longer really have to deal with the serial fiction aspect of things. Volume one is a stand alone novel that is available for free reading; I think a good one. Share it with your friends. Who can turn down a free book if their friend says it is a good one?

Thanks to you all once again, don't forget to comment, and may you walk on warm sands!
