Ah, it's good to blog again. As with last year, I have to squeeze my blogging in when my wife Violet isn't doing her homework.
That's why I've waited until now to spread the good news about a new review of Epoch, courtesy of The Book Connection here on Blogspot. You can read the review by clicking on this sentence.
I was very happy to read that review after the pounding The Globe and Mail gave me. Ego boosts all around!
In other Tim news, I've got a signing gig lined up with Indigo Spirit in First Canadian Place here in downtown Toronto, for December 18. I've signed there twice before (when they were Coles), but this will be my first one for Epoch. I can't wait for that! I'm also trying to line up an author event at the Indigo at Younge & Eglinton. I've talked to all the people that need talking to, and they want me to do it, but we still haven't managed to secure a date. I am hopeful this issue will be resolved this week.
Writing-wise, I've finished Part 1 of Kids Who Know. And, even though I abandoned it in the summer, I've gone back to The 25 Demons You Meet In Hell. And, I'm also working on Cupidity. This seems to be the way I'll be writing for the foreseeable future - doing books a chunk at a time. I used to be able to stick with one novel all the way through, but now things are different. Now I'm trying to think of what my publisher will like best, and that's having an effect on my work. This is a new phase of my life as a writer. I just hope I'm up to the challenge.

Hi, I've been reading your blog for about a month now. I wanted to give you a lead that I think will be helpful regarding what you said about writing for the tastes of publishers. Please refer to the Author's Notes in ON A PALE HORSE by Piers Anthony. That will give you an idea of how to solve that dilemma. :)
Thanks for the advice, Morgan. I don't have a copy of Pale Horse any more, but it shouldn't be too hard for me to pick up. I hope you've been enjoying my blog so far!
