A Temporary Break In The Fourth Wall

Hello, everyone. Normally, I don't like to break character as the Alternate Historian - I think the last time I did was before my daughter was born. But, I've been thinking about something for a long time, and I wanted to let you know about it.

Right now, like a lot of people, I work in a field that is completely unrelated to what I want to do with my life. Unlike a lot of people, however, there are a large number of people from around the world who read my writing every day.

I want to tap your potential.

I'm not asking for donations, (although that would be nice). I'm asking for a little proof of the old 6 degrees of separation adage. Somewhere out there, there is an agent looking to represent me; a television show that wants a new writer; an editor for a publishing house who can say yes or no to a new book (or series of books). And, you know these people. Maybe not directly, but you have a friend who has a friend... and I am asking that you put me in touch with them.

TIAH will continue on as long as I have ideas, but I would like it to be that quirky thing I do on the side of my other writing job. Because I have come to the conclusion that if I have to spend one more year in the industry I currently occupy, I will lose all my creative impulses, and I don't want to do that.

I don't know how I will reward the loyal and wonderful readers who respond to this call - abject groveling comes to mind - but you will, at the very least, have my undying gratitude. Thank you for reading my strange little project here, and thanks for any help you can throw my way!
