Questions, Questions, Questions

Two things people ask most often are: "What is it called?" and "What's it about?"
The title is A Half-Empty Glassful of Optimism.
Why? One of the characters says that in the story, and I liked it. That's the odd thing about writing fiction. Sometimes your characters say and do things that come out of left field. They really do have lives of their own. I think of the phrase as a sort of malapropism, like "A Hard Day's Night."
And what is it about? This is how I describe it: "It's a comic novel disguised as an adventure, masquerading as a self-help book."
Yes, I know it's confusing, but it will all become clear in succeeding posts.
A third question I'm asked is, "When is it coming out?"
Ahhh... that's the question without an answer at this point. I hope, with this website, to begin building some interest in the book, get some buzz going. And you can come along for the ride.
