OK. So this is the Coyote Mercury blog, based in Austin, Texas. I don’t yet have a purpose for blogging except that this seems an amusing way for an obsessive writer to have some fun and maybe even pick up a few new readers.
The names of the blog and my main website are derived from a character in my first novel, A Place Without a Postcard. The character is surprisingly enough a coyote named Mercury who may actually be just a plain old dog, or – possibly – God.
Enough for now. I should get back to learning how this blog stuff works.
James Brush is a teacher and writer who lives in Austin, TX. He tries to get outside as much as possible.
Interestingly enough, the name of your novel is also the name of an album put out by an Australian band called “Midnight Oil”, about 1981.
Regarding the previous comment . . . there’s nothing completely new under the sun, I suppose.
Welcome to the blogging world, Mr. Brush. And thanks for visiting my humble blog.
