Hi. When will Cobblepotts #2 being coming out? Really looking forward to reading more about Otis and Patty

It occurred to me that I should probably hold of on the second until the first gains some sort of popularity--if it ever does.

It is, however, already written...mostly. There are a few things I want to tinker with, and it will need a final round of editing, of course; the skeleton is there, just needs a bit more meat.

Humor--on paper--is a tricky thing; a poorly chosen word or even an improperly placed (and assholish) comma can suck the laughs right out of a sentence. Timing is everything. I want to make sure the sequel
is on par with the original.

Good news, though; it's nearly twice as long as the first.

Bill, You have HOME BY CHRISTMAS in the Goodreads Review round #3. Can I send you a print copy? Rory Church

Bill Jacks Sure. That would be great. I'm glad I happened to look at my profile; I wasn't notified that a question had been asked. Sorry.…moreSure. That would be great. I'm glad I happened to look at my profile; I wasn't notified that a question had been asked. Sorry.(less)
