So it begins-

-
It's been about three weeks since Luthor was officially available.  And since then I have to say that I've been getting more and more excited with each passing day.  The past four days there's been at least one person who told me that they just bought my book.  That may not seem like a lot, but in actuality, it is.  And those are the only people who I spoke to. In my head there are hundreds of others each day browsing books online and coming across Luthor and falling in love with him.  Other people might have seen something somewhere about it and were curious.
And when those people begin to talk about Luthor to other people, the word is spread. 
So it begins.

The next few weeks will be busy.  Today I had to go to the post office to mail off some books to people who had purchased autographed copies.  I have a feeling I'll be doing that a lot in the future. Then I spent the day dropping off other copies to people who had been waiting for their personal copy.
I still need to set up Paypal on my site for copies from the author.  And I need to finish the media kit for presenting to bookstores when I approach them about carrying Luthor on their shelves. (Good enough sales online and they'll do that anyway, eventually.  Hint-hint, if you haven't ordered a copy yet.)  Another trailer is being worked on, too.

And there's something else that we've got in the works that I think will be really cool.  But there's a time for everything and Luthor's popularity needs to grow a little before we pursue the next step.

So, it's a busy time, but a great time.  Who knows what's around the next corner.

Don't forget that Luthor's now available on Kindle

We've started a new year. We've started a new opportunity to be a better person. A happier person. It's no secret that I'm one of the worst bloggers around. Why? Because no one reads it. And that had been a difficult thing for me to handle for years. So I feel I don't need to try.  2018 was a bad year. No only because there's a new problem with the cunt in the White House every day, but with people in general. People have gotten more violent and uncaring. As a society, it is clear that we are declining.  It's been extremely difficult attempting to stay positive over the last 12+ months. But that is going to change. I am going to fight for positivity. No more depression. No more doubting myself or my writing. If people don't want to read my blog, big fucking deal! I don't care anymore. The time for change is now! No more thoughts of suicide (yes, there have been days). No more self-depreciation. I will do whatever I can to be successful

Just full of giddiness!

Not sure if it's really all that manly to be full of giddiness, but I don't know of any other way to describe it.  One of the rules of blogging, especially for a writer, is not to bore your readers with the same old subject over and over.  But Luthor is a major part of my life right now, and things are beginning to change because of it. And the title of this blog is the daily ups and downs of  an up and coming writer, and over the past few years there have too many downs.  I am on the way up, and I'm gonna shout it from the top of a mountain (from the top of Pike's Peak, eventually). I just got done preparing a couple of packages for some people who have purchased signed copies of Luthor .  And as I was doing it, I was so happy. Actually over the past few weeks I have been so happy.  Sales have been great.  People have been talking to me about the book and telling me about the emotions it took them through and how if effected them.  Each time I hear something new

The light at the end of the tunnel-

(I'm doing this entry on my iPad, so I'm not able to add a picture.  Just imagine a cool shot of Colorado, please. ) As most of you know, our big goal is to get the hell out of Austin and up to the mountains of Colorado. Obviously we have to wait a couple of years until I retire with the City of Austin, The other day I got some good news: That goal got 6/7 months closer. I will be able to buy my sick time and move my date up! Nice! So by roughly September of 2014 I will be retiring! It seems weird to say those words. People tell me, "You can't retire, you're too young." The hell, I can't! You're never too young to retire, if you're able.  It's my reward for sticking with a job I didn't like most of the time for 23 years! Some also ask, "What are you going to do? You'll get bored." The hell I will! They forget: I'm a writer. I actually never thought I would retire with the City, because I always thought my caree
