I’m assuming anyone reading an author’s blog will have heard something about this, but in case you’ve been hiding under a (oh, let’s just say it) a Super Bowl rock the last couple of weeks: Amazon and Macmillan have been having a bit of a, well, tussle over a few minor issues. Okay, they’re actually […]

Just a quick note to wish everyone a Happy New Year, as happy or happier than the one just passed, depending on your particular circumstances. I’ll be back with more blogging in 2010. Until then, stay well and thanks for continuing to check in! Greg

It’s been over a month since I last updated my blog, which is as long as I’ve had to go without posting something new since I started.

I’ve been so busy lately that it just struck me I haven’t yet discussed the series of articles written about The Third Sign for Jane Smith’s How Publishing Really Works website, in the Trios section.
