This will be the blog&#8217;s new home, though I&#8217;ll update both domains in parallel (probably for months) to give everyone time to move here. Eventually, crippledcollie.com will be retired, and all the new material will be here. However, I am in no hurry to retire crippledcollie.com, which gets about 5,000 visitors per week. Since 2007, I\u2019ve written so many posts on so many subjects that a lot of people land here with Google searches. I don\u2019t want to lose all that Google traffic.<\/p>\n<p>Note that when you visit the <em>Into the Woods<\/em> blog here in the new domain, all the existing posts have been copied here, going all the way back to 2007. You\u2019ll find a simpler, fresher look. Photos will display slightly larger. And, because the new blog uses the latest version of WordPress, I\u2019m hoping that comments will be easier.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Into the Woods<\/em> blog will continue to focus on simple living in rural America. But because Acorn Abbey is increasingly involved in publishing, a new domain, appropriately named, with some shift in focus seems appropriate.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll have more information soon on the next book to come out of Acorn Abbey. That will be <em>Fugue in Ursa Major<\/em>, a science fiction novel by David Dalton. The novel is finished and is now being edited. Soon the novel will be in the hands of my three distinguished reader\/advisers. After that, there will be more editing and minor revisions before it\u2019s published. Publication should happen in late November or December.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m going to self-publish <em>Fugue in Ursa Major<\/em>. The odds of finding a commercial publisher are terrible. Self-publishing is no longer stigmatized. I\u2019ve been in publishing all my life, so it\u2019s easy work. There will be a trade paperback version available through Amazon, as well as an Kindle edition and an edition for Apple iBooks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This blog has been copied \u2014 lock, stock and barrel \u2014 from crippledcollie.com, where the blog was started in 2007.
