There won’t be an Okanagan Reader post this week because I have to start recording my novel Vin Stone – Night Soil. How about if, instead of posting a regular reading, I post the first chapter of this novel? That sounds like a great idea. Now, how do I do that again?
Oh, right. That was easy.

I have mailed out copies of Vin Stone – Night Soil to those people who requested an advance readers copy. I hope to hear back from some of them with reports of errors and typos so I can correct them before I send it to the distributor. Actually, I hope to hear back with glowing compliments, but let’s be realistic.-) This is a tidy little book, coming in at under 60,000 words. I’m glad that it did that because I found it hard to write while we were homeless for several months and I do like to get them out well before the end of the year. I need that time to record the audiobook and get a few weeks of rest before I start writing the next one.
