Got a novel coming out in December.

Hi, all.

Book's called Oranges for Magellan. About a flagpole-sitter in Los Angeles in the early 1980s.

Posted this in the Fiction group & if i'm spamming, blame SheltieLover, she made me do it! (not really but she played a big part)

Self published? I'm using KDP at Amazon to self publish. It's pretty easy but promotion is difficult.

by women, in North Carolina. I almost had another book published, (about a certain charmingly noxious animal) at an indie in SF, but it went under in the recession. This place is heaven to the hell of that experience.

I loved this book. Didn't want it to end. Very well written, literary. Good character development, plot twists. I just posted a short review on GoodReads. Congrats, Richard Martin!
