Cavernous

Saturday, December 8th, 2007

Ok, ok, ok…I have an announcement. It’s exciting. I don’t want you to get all hot, so you may want to take your shirt off and open a window. Ignore the man with the binoculars. We’ll just assume he’s looking at the announcement, too.

Ok, ok…I wrote another book!!!

…well, ok, it’s more than just that. If you’ve been keeping count, this is my fourth book. And if you’ve been using your hands to count, the pinkie has a book now. The name is Cavernous. It was a working title, but I’ve decided to hold onto it. The name grew on me, and now I love it.

 As the manuscript sits in my rucksack and endures minor corrections, submissions will be going to agents, and word will be spreading. For the first book, no one took the bait. The second, I only made a limp, half-hearted cast. The third one got caught in a tree, so stupid. This will be the big effort, we’ll see if someone bites this time.

For now, I have 3 of the 45 chapters online: http://www.hamishdee.com/cavernous.htm It’s been a little while since I’ve had new content, and it’ll be a long while before I have more. Digest it slowly this time. I was a bit lazy about the redesign of the menu: http://www.hamishdee.com/menu.htm Maybe I’ll come back and fix that. I’m just pleased that I remember how to manage this website.

Read with care ~HD

Finished – more soon.

Australian Photobook

Saturday, December 1st, 2007

Hey! I’ve added another continent to my already extensive travels. Don’t get too excited though, it’s only the smallest continent, Australia. Have a look, here.

I was in West Australia for over 2 1/2 months. I went for a wedding, but stayed to write. I did a little bit of travel in the meantime, just enough to convince people I’m only screwing around.

The writings, i.e. a book, i.e. my fourth book, i.e. Poopy Diaper (working title), will be finished within the month. It’s already the size of my first and second books combined, or my first and third book, or my second and third books and a Watchtower magazine. I’m still working though. Once finished, a few sample chapters may follow, maybe a website resign, assuming I remember how to do that.

So long

PS. The title of the book is not Poopy Diaper.
