Kickin' it new school

After careful consideration of the cons and pros of self-publishing my one completed novel (Will agents turn up their noses at me for temporarily eschewing traditional publishing? Or will they be dazzled by my stunning sales numbers?), I decided to heed my inner Colbert and follow my gut, or my id, or whatever it is that was whining "But why nah-aht?"  So yeah, The Wizard's Son, dark and depressing, mental illness, inky humor, pretty much what you'd expect from me except maybe the tentatively hopeful ending.  It's only available on Amazon Kindle for now, because them's the rules if I want to enroll it in their "Lending Library," where "Prime" members with an actual Kindle (not a free app to read on a computer or another device, cuz that wouldn't be special enough) can borrow one book a month for free.

As an added incentive, if you read it, you get to voice your opinion on the following: Is this a young-adult novel that adults would enjoy, or is it a coming-of-age story that teenagers would find accessible?  I spent my adolescence reading grown-up fiction and didn't really deign to read YA until college, so I'm a pretty lousy judge.

Now maybe I can put the energy I've spent waffling into getting some actual writing done.
