For the past few years, I’ve had numerous people reach out to me and ask about getting signed copies of my books, but I’ve always been more focused on writing the next book instead… or perhaps too daunted by the idea of dealing with e-commerce, storefronts, and shipping to want to even try.
It’s been ten days since One Tin Soldier‘s release, which somehow means Thanksgiving is less than a week away, Christmas is less than five, and it’ll be 2053 before we know it. As ever, time has no real meaning anymore. Still, it seemed like a good time to look back at the release and to…
[April 14th, 2022 Update: The One Tin Soldier audiobook is now available! – CT] I’ll have a longer post next week, with a retrospective on One Tin Soldier’s release, but I’ve had a number of people reach out to me already asking where the audiobook is.

I loathe being the center of attention. Maybe things were different back when my mom was still breathing, but if so, growing up in an orphanage had beaten the attention-seeker right out of me.
