The Hole: Outro

THE HOLE, as a serial novel, is completed. Sixteen months of writing and ninety-thousand words and Elliot and Evajean’s journey has ended. I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who’s followed the book–and to everyone who’s just starting it now. Writing THE HOLE has been a terrific experience for me and most of that has been a result of the great community of readers the novel’s attracted. To a great extent, then, I owe its completion to you. Thank you.

Elliot and Evajean have done their part, but I’m not quite done with mine. What’s been published here, semi-regularly for the last year and a half, is the first draft of the story. I posted as I wrote and, now, I get to move on to that crucial next step: revision. I’ll be using the comments gathered along the way, and all new ones between now and when I’m finally done. Then begins the hunt for a publisher and, if all goes well, the thrill of seeing the book in print.

As a continuation of this experiment in online novel publishing, I’ve made the THE HOLE available for the Amazon Kindle e-book reader. If you have a Kindle and would prefer to read it that way, here’s the link to grab it. And even if you don’t have a Kindle, I’d love it if you’d head over to the book’s Amazon page and leave a comment or review. Tell me what you thought–I’d really appreciate it.

Finally, as promised, I’m not leaving readers hanging without something new to check out. I’m happy to present the launch of my new, and different, serial novel, KARAOKE QUINTESSENCE, a tale of occult crime and mischief. I hope you like it.

Thank you all again.
