Almost Famous

I have 4,500 followers on Substack.

In related news, my stats are unremarkable. I am cultivating neither likes nor comments.

I am not selling books — nor doing well at the business of giving them away.

And I never have. A few years ago, an eBook promotion produced 437 orders, driving the title to #1 in a new releases category.

It was a high mark, after which I received zero reviews.

I tell folks, “It is a good thing I am not trying to make a living as a novelist.”

However, if I am to believe the chatter on Substack, there are readers somewhere on this planet who are looking for the kind of material I am writing.

Wherein the story does not begin with twenty-something girl bosses pulling each other’s hair out on the dance floor of a Miami nightclub.

I know. There’s a market for that. I could write it, but I do not.
