Mission accomplished
Nov. 29th, 2011 09:51 pmRoth trades information with Rory, and gets the train going toward Chatton. When he finds Brent Cutwood waiting for him aboard the train, he has to keep his promise and allow an interview. Then on arrival at Chatton, the stationmaster tweaks him for failing to report the track defect yet again, even though he had done so at Dermouth.

The Nano is completed, the story is not. I do intend to finish the draft and then go back and do a lot of technical editing on it. This year I have set a goal for completion, and that is the end of March, 2012. I hope to release an e-book version in several formats sometime after that, possibly even with illustrations. A paper edition is a possibility provided that I receive enough expressions of interest. I've heard encouragement from a couple of readers, but the counters on Furrag.com tell me that I have somewhere between 30 and 40 who have followed me through the entire 50K words so far. Now is the time for you to speak up. Do you want to read the entire story, polished and assembled as a finished novella? It's up to you.
Please remember that what you see at Furrag.com right now is not anywhere near a finished text. It is an incomplete first draft that will be enhanced, expanded, and revised before final release. The climax of the story hasn't even been reached at this point. There may be a small cost for the finished book, but as an ebook it will be under $3 US. Paper copies, if I go that far, will inevitably be more expensive. Just how much depends on demand and the publishing route I eventually might find. Note that ebooks would be readable in multiple formats, for Kindle, Kobo, Nook, Sony, and computer and tablet reading software. I definitely plan to use Smashwords as a distributor, but might be able to get it onto Amazon or other channels as well. Let me know what you think.
