The Model Universe sells in the UK!

Interesting. I've had my science fiction anthology, The Model Universe, up for sale at Amazon UK for two months, where it sold precisely zero copies. Several days ago, I realized I hadn't added any tags to its Amazon page, did so, and promptly sold a book. I'm rich. At any rate, those mysterious tags might very well mean something.

Green hills and brown fields

Wintertime in the Salinas Valley. The hills slowly turn green as they finally get some rain. The fields of the valley below are all brown, devoid of crops mostly (other than some cauliflower, broccoli, and the like), the earth turned over and waiting to be planted for the spring.

A Rainy Day

It's a rainy day for beginning this blog. That's not a bad thing, as green and growing things need a little rain to get going. That's the writer part of me talking. The farming part of me isn't too pleased, as rain in October means moldy pumpkins, moldy strawberries and moldy tomatoes. But that's life. You take it as it comes. You can change certain things, if you have the know-how and will to do so. Other things, like rain, you can't change.
