Great things have been happening in getting ready for my second novel release. I've been setting up a blog tour set to happen during the first part of July all the way up to the release party. I've already got about 20 bloggers on board and I'm very excited to see how this works!
I spent last weekend going over the final "author proof" or final draft of The Last Archangel. I'm excited about the finished product and the fact that it is now off to the printers. It was also nice taking a look at the story again with fresh eyes.
Now that it has been finalized, I'm not able to release an excerpt, the prologue and the first chapter. Click
here to visit the official site and download the excerpt. Enjoy! I'm sure there will be more news as things progress, but for now I'm just excited about all of the things that I learned the first time around that I'm able to do better the next time around.
The box has arrived in its familiar Amazon packaging. Note: I usually buy books at the New England Mobile Bookfair, walking distance from home. Purchasing from Amazon makes me feel guilty (see previous post). But this time, it couldn't be helped.
I grab a knife and pry open the box. More prying to cut through the packaging of the item itself. And here it is...my next mountain scaled, or my next tumble into the abyss. My screenplay-writing software is in my hands.
I'm still awaiting Amy's (hired editor) verdict on my novel. How many diplomatic ways are there to say "this is an unpublishable piece of crap?"
The conventional wisdom says that a real writer should always be writing. Except for this blog, I haven't written anything since my last revision of the novel, a couple of months ago. So here goes. The story that's calling to me seems to lend itself more to a screenplay than a book. So I've ordered the "Final Draft" software, and gotten as far as opening the package. As soon as I (fill in some blanks that will take about an hour), I swear on my Bat Mitzvah Bible that I will install the program and Start My Screenplay. Wish me luck.
