“Legend of the Great Horse” MySpace page

Update 10/17/20: This post is now part of history, too … the book’s profile was deleted by the company that bought out MySpace as it self destructs. It was long since superceded by Facebook, and Pinterest, and Instagram, and so it goes.

The MySpace page for the historical fiction trilogy, The Legend of the Great Horse has been updated with reviews and news about the book.  The book’s blog will also now be displayed on the page. Wondrous new photographs have been added.

The page currently focuses on the first volume, “Eclipsed by Shadow,” though there will be updates about Book II featured as they come available. All fans are invited to stop by and befriend the book, and leave viewers a comment!

As always, any feedback or corrections are definitely welcome…

New Hardback Edition of “Eclipsed by Shadow”

A lot has been happening with the book! The first news is that a hardback edition of Eclipsed by Shadow will be published in October. This will be a “library bound” edition (without a dust jacket) and has been re-typeset with illustrations added along with a new cover.

Some site enhancements will be in operation soon, including a media kit including press and image downloads, and after the hardback’s release blog postings will be syndicated to the book’s Amazon page.

Also, the trilogy’s e-newsletter will soon commence publication. This monthly email will keep readers in touch with book developments and provide notifications and discounts for future volumes. I invite you to subscribe to the newsletter (and guarantee privacy of your email address).

I’m looking forward to posting more topics soon … thanks for stopping by!

I have a word with Mission Control

Welcome to the new blog, with a new CMS platform and new dedicated site. (!)

The upgrade was made after it was revealed that readers would have no way to post comments, so a new council was convened at Micron Press headquarters and the result is this new WordPress platform. It is state of the art and many other things besides, but mainly it will allow more connectedness with the outside world and allow readers to comment if they wish.

I would like to extend thanks to Shaun Tarves for his technical assistance.  If you need some WordPress work done–and who doesn’t?–Shaun is fast, qualified, reliable and reasonable and you really should be using him.

Mission Control has a word with me

My blog is launched, but I had to put down the weeks of celebration that were just getting underway in order to attend to business. I was called into the august presence of my publisher, Micron Press, for a timely conference.

We find this blog is to be promoted from its obscure position within the “Reviews & Information” section of the book’s website, and privileged with a link from the main page. I am to email the new blog page after I’d finished (what?!) to be uploaded to a new subfolder. Did you hear that PEOPLE? An entirely new subfolder. The gesture humbles. Truly it does.

All righty then, here it is and I hope you like it. I took the daring opportunity to show pictures of … horses. Well, people and horses. The history of horsemanship is the history of man, so the different eras make an interesting timeline. I’ll change it around later, probably. And talk about it.
