Brief Explanation Of How Publishing Works, my blog entry from January 5, 2020.

Newest Excerpts (“Daily Lines”) From BEES
Have you read my latest Excerpts (aka “Daily Lines”) from GO TELL THE BEES THAT I HAVE GONE? Here are the most recent:
“Piety,” in celebration of the First Sunday of Advent on December 1, 2019.
“The Letter J,” in honor of Claire’s birthday.
Three separate short excerpts from BEES together in one webpage.
My blog entry, “BEES Workmanship Example,” from September 2 has a new excerpt in it, and gives an idea of how I edit my writing as I work.
Note that BEES does not have a publication date set yet! I am working hard doing the writing and research for BEES and hope to finish writing it by the end of this year (2019). After I finish it, then my publishers will decide upon release dates, likely in 2020. Thanks!
On March, 2019, I released a (tentative) list of chapter titles for BEES.
