Quite a few things happened between the last post and today’s. First and most importantly, I got a new job. After seven years and a month as the tech office at the boarding school, it was time for a change. <\/p>\n
No matter how often someone has changes jobs and deals with the last day emotions, until that door shutters behind you for the last time, what you’re really feeling about leaving that position–much less about the time you spent there—remains the big unknown. Especially this time. <\/p>\n
So when the ninth graders delivered a handmade card they all signed to my office, I lost it. This was the first and only time a group of fourteen year-olds reduced me to tears. Maybe I shouldn’t have been so surprised, since the day before the seniors almost succeeded with their own missive. Needless to say, it was moment I shall remember for a long time.<\/p>\n
That being said, despite all the interviews and waiting to get the new place, after almost a month there, it was definitely worth the hurdles. <\/p>\n
The publisher and I decided to try a new promotion technique, and so The Last Track is free on kindle for a short time. To say the least, I’m very pleased with the download numbers. <\/p>\n
