Whoops! Sent out an update for Farm Boy from here instead - apologies, folks!
Advertising update (’orrible, innit?):
Elan Samuel has been kind enough to post up a three-question interview with me at the Warbler Books site, so if you’re curious about what I type like at 2 AM, you can wander over there for a chuckle.

I’ve got a short radio interview done that I’ll post later this week as well. Just a brief (13 minutes or so) friendly with the local station I had a show with for a few years, but it’s fun for the curious.
For Farm Boy itself, I have ended up redoing pretty much all of the third chapter because I realized almost the entire chapter was in flashbacks, and unless petite madeleines are involved that’s not a great way for the story to go. So more revisions before popping out the start of the third. A bit later than hoped, but for sound reasons.

A quick bit of cover art done for Farm Boy - close to the final design, but not quite. The artist I have doing it is actually talented, but she’s also really, really busy! So in the mean time, this is my placeholder.
I do like very simple designs (LOVE Peter Mendelsund’s work!), and went with the wheat stalk partially because of the name and partially because of the saying that the highest blade of grass is the first to be cut.
In any case, it’s certainly more interesting to look at than the black-and-white, no?
I sent the DJ for our little local radio station a link to the sample chapters, and now he wants to do an interview about it and Inkshares come Monday. I guess that’s not a bad thing!
Only down side is he’s calling me a pusher for not giving him the whole thing. Sorry, mate: only the first dose is free. Ten bucks for a screen, twenty to get it into your hot little hands.
Hm. Actually, he may have a point... 8-)
Great news!
The newest chapter of Pirates of Montana is up! Yay for Chapter 2!
Prologue and Chapter 1 also got some small edits!
Read from the beginning! Or randomly pick a spot!
"Never get involved in a land war in Asia!"
"Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line"!
