I’m still here. Even though I don’t post much these days. Thought I’d pop in today to say “Hi” and thank everyone who’s read Null Pointer<\/em>. I’m still planning on writing the next Joshua Jones novel – Kill Dash Nine<\/em>, although I’m not sure exactly when that will be. In the meantime, if you haven’t read the short story “The Safe Cracker” featuring the detective in Null Pointer<\/em>, give that a read.<\/p>\n

Of course the best way to force my hand at writing the next novel would be to start a word-of-mouth campaign that results in big sales numbers. Hint, hint. The ebook for Null Pointer<\/em> is still only .99 cents and the paperback is available just about anywhere for less than ten bucks. Can’t beat that. I have several loaner copies that I pass out whenever I can. Most coders really enjoy it. Mystery readers are tepid to it though. There’s not a real big audience for programmer sleuths out there. Knitting grannies are apparently far more interesting amateur sleuths.<\/p>\n

I have two other novels I need to finish before I can write Kill Dash Nine<\/em>, so hopefully I’ll start writing about white collar crimes again in 2015. Until then, thanks again for reading!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
