Hello? Is anybody there?

I’ve finally gotten around to putting my novels on the Internet.

Actually trying to put them there.

There are sites that help you, but if you’re not a real computer jockey, as I am not, even that is confounding.

I sent these people my phone number, but don’t expect to get a call.

I’ve communicated with two or three of these experts via my computer screen, but so far it ain’t workin.

The folks are all very nice. They want to be helpful. They just don’t seem to want to talk to anyone. I say anyone rather than me to avoid sounding paranoid. And I say folks to sound friendly, in case they should read this.

Will there come a day when our mouths will be used only for eating, our vocal cords shrivel and grow useless, like our appendix, and we grow a few extra fingers to type even faster?

Will there come a day when a child is born and the doctor says, “Oh, no. He only has five fingers on each hand? He’s a throwback.” Then the mother bursts into tears and the father faints?
