Hi dreams,
Of course I am having fun. What's the point of not?
As for sales and rankings, well, all I can say is that bringing
Boomerang out as an ebook has been great in giving me the opportunity to reach readers who probably never would have even considered checking out my work.
Sequel? Oh, you bet I've got a sequel in the works. In
Close Enough for Jazz, Ted and Jerry have to first keep tabs on and then rescue a pampered teenager in the US on a cultural exchange program. That was begun when I had hopes that
Boomerang might make a bit of a splash in the Publishing World. But keeping in mind that my family (especially my Beloved) has a right to eventually see me turn some sort of profit off this time consuming obsession of mine, "Jazz" has been necessarily put on the backburner for now as I concentrate on what I hope is a more conventionally marketable book called
The Baer Boys*. I think both are wonderful books (so far, I mean I'm only about a third the way done with either), but for now I think it is best to concentrate on one, and that one is The Baer Boys.
Of course, I will jump right back to the new Ted and Jerry adventure if
Boomerang finds a receptive readership significant enough to make a publisher say "Hmm! Lookee there!"
Now 'scuse me whilst I polish my spats!
Alan
