Travel time...

I'm posting early in case I actually do get off to Seattle, because I'm not slated to land till 10:30pm Pacific time (1:30 my time), thanks to routing through Phoenix. Then I have to get a rental car and have a 45 minute drive to my hotel on the north side of the city. Probably won't get there till after midnight and to bed by 1am. Then up at 7 to buy materials before I head over.

I've been thinking about BDO and, aside from not liking the title anymore, I think I will be able to complete it in chapter 12. And it is going to be a happy ending for Dirc and Irin. So far reaction to it's been good, and I've even gotten a couple of positive emails from readers. That's always appreciated.

I still think it's best to leave it on GayDemon and not officially publish it. This way I know the audience/readers are those who want to read work like this. That can be an issue with even erotica publishers.

I'm finding the majority of those who say they can help you sell more copies of your book work with KDP, which I have zero interest in. Don't trust them one damn bit, since they're responsible for most of the issues I've had with my books. Ingram can be difficult, but there are ways to work around their actions. Smashwords is getting a bit more problematic, but will not insane. KDP is without any foundation and makes zero sense in the things they do.

No telling how long things will be okay with self-publishing. So long as Felon#45's crowd is busy trying to steal Greenland away from Denmark and retake the Panama Canal (which we never owned), I think it's safe. But once they realize their plan to annex Canada onto the US isn't going to work, they may look for easier ground to run roughshod over.

Well...as the song goes...Que Sera Sera.
