Aging writer, editor, and self-publisher who still manages to get up every morning and face a cruel world that won't review his books. Cute, but not terribly handsome.

December sales, oddly enough, have been tanking. I suppose it's the Big Boys who get the Holiday hits this time of year, and not the lowly Indys. But I'm still pluggin' away at www.amazon.com/author/jimbeard. Give me a try for an alternative to The Same Old Thing.

Back on the novella after a day off to recharge. I added 853 words to the penultimate chapter to bring my grand total up over 46K.
Also, I've stopped thinking of the story as #horror. Though I'm not one for labels, this one is something more like dark urban fantasy, if that makes sense. #AmWriting
