This is wonderful! On March 23, I recorded 169 hits to this website. About a week later, there were 300 hits! I don't know what is accounting for the increasing activity, but I am surely thankful for it! As the end of school approaches, I'm going to make another marketing appeal to my students and attempt to post the website info around campus. Also, I have just been contacted by the Meridian Star about contributing a signed copy of The Epsilon Wish for a book sale and auction to benefit the NIE. I'm always glad to help any worthy cause. With luck, the Meridian Star contact will lead to even more publicity.

This is a new milestone for me and this website. On March 2nd, the Weebly stats showed 107 views! That's incredible. I'd gone over 70 or 80 a couple of times, but I always considered the 100 point as a landmark. Thanks to all of you who come back to view the site. I keep trying to update it periodically, and adding new material courtesy of Space.com. Once I have new information concerning The Epsilon Wish or a followup publication, I'll be sure to let my readers know it here, first. At present, I'm trying to put together a collection of my short stories for submission to Sleepytown Press, probably during the summer. The publisher wants me to "feed" my new readership, so I don't lose my newfound support and interest.
