I don't want to sound smug about it. I'm just pleased, that's all. The writing world is full of delays and postponements. Projects get cancelled, publishing companies go into liquidation, editors change their minds about accepted work, contracts get broken. The truth is that most writers need publishers far more than publishers need writers. Supply exceeds demand.
It's rare that a book is published on the precise date the author has been told it will appear. Sometimes delays can stretch for years... All this inefficiency is less frustrating if you 'build in' the concepts of delay and vagueness into your mind-set when you begin writing. Anyway, my four most recent books have all appeared in the past four months, right on schedule! It's a nice feeling. Very. |

Jesus! Sorry again for the massive image!
I thought I had shrunk it properly...
Right, that's the last time I'm posting images here.
My apologies again! |

When you think of the hard work that goes into it all ...yes! Show them off.
I don't mind the size. Pleased to see the books! |

Thanks Ally.
The problem with the big photograph size is that it looks like a deliberate attempt to overwhelm people; whereas it was in fact an accidental attempt to do so. |

Though one of the books is apparently an occidental attempt to do so. |

Great balls of fire, man. Industrious is merely a base adjective when applied to your colossal output, puns encouraged.
Great stuff, mate. |

Thanks folks.
Your tolerance regarding the big image is appreciated.
Joel: "An occidental attempt"? Ha! You write bleakist, but you talk punny. I sometimes wonder about your orientation...
Another book on the way next month, I hope!
And another after that...

Well, you know what they say about whether size matters, Rhys ...  |
