Second time - as good as the first?

Wow, the first time posting was so intense! Can it get any better?

Anyway, welcome (all three of you) to Shelf Monkey (patent pending). This is to be the official blog of the publication of, you guessed it, Shelf Monkey (patent pending). It is the title of a novel I wrote, and have subsequently managed to find a publisher for. It will be released in the Spring of 2007 (Canada) by ECW Press.

You can check out their website at www.ecwpress.com .

More to come soon. I'll try to write every day or so, going through the whole process of writing, publishing, and getting a book on the shelves. Should be a wild ride, or at least informative.

By the way, did you know the spell check function on this blog does not recognize the word 'blog?' Weird oversight.
