  • Well I Did It

    As of 7:30(ish) pm this evening (5 Mar 17), I finally published the novel “Copper Rain”.  You’d think I’d be rather excited.  I am, but I am terrified at the same time.  So many questions.  What if they don’t like it?  What if they do?  Weird.  I am mostly terrified.  Why did I do this?…
