I started this blog about a month after The Narrows Escape was published as a way to promote the book. I figured that the additional exposure would help book sales. I don't know how many hours I've spent writing this blog, but I honestly don't know if anyone has purchased the book as a result of reading it. Sometimes I wonder if it is worth it to keep it going since sales have trickled down to about one or two books a year. At first I posted weekly. Later it was bi-weekly. Lately, I've struggled to come up with one blog a month. This month almost passed by without me posting anything. I'm afraid if I let that happen, it would be hard to keep it going. Is it worth it? I'm not sure. There is always some traffic on here, but not much. It would be nice to get some feedback on what type of posts people like, or even what they think of the book.
