This is probably a wee bit off topic but..

Recommended Posts

Honestly I don't really care about anyone on any of the other forums here, so I didn't feel right posting in "Off Topic" (even though it WOULD be a wider audience)

 

Don't you always roll your eyes when someone talks about the "novel" they are "writing"? You know the types, blathering endlessly about plots and ideas and never actually doing anything... well, those guys annoy me too.

 

Which is why I haven't talked to anyone about this anywhere I visit until I knew damn well I was not one of those kinds of guys!

 

Coming soon!

Should be out to buy before June 10 or so.

 

*fist pump*

 

(helpful note: before I decided to self publish, this was originally accepted as a Harlequin Nocturne novel)

Congratulations and hope you do well with this book.

What species of spider is that? looks like a Australian Red-Back.

It's the good old fashioned Latrodectus Mactans. The American Black Widow.

Or, to put it a funnier way: you know how your widows have red backs? Ours have them underneath.

There is a dirty joke in there somewhere...

Here's a link better explaining what this book and the series are. for giggles I think Jessica's mother is going to bust out with an Intellivision in book two. she's going to get them a house, and I think it'll be funny if she sticks one up front and center in the livingroom.

 

Also: My kingdom for a PORTABLE version of Tower of Doom that actually works.

Eh. It's the name of his detective agency. it means, basically, "to accept what life has done to you, stoically".

 

It'll be named "Dog and Spider Private Investigations" by the middle of book 2, which I'm already 40 pages into writing.

Also: these bump me up on the "bestseller" list. I'm at 31. If by some miracle we can crack top ten, that should translate into many "real sales" for weeks to come. Tell friends, family, even people who don;t know how to read to grab it today!

Just noticed mark got your book. Dont be surprised if it comes back with corrections marked all over in red pen and a grade at the top of page 1. :lol:

Lol. The editor I had was... honestly pretty craptacular. She originally added like 5 thousand words to it, tying off what she called "loose ends" and telling me "Harlequin does not 'do' sequels" and they wanted rights to my characters. I informed them that meant they weren't "doing" my book, and ended up having to go back to an earlier manuscript. I don't think too many errors, other than stylistic choices, got through, but it's hard to edit your own stuff.

Oh and she set Merrick up as a ROMANTIC RIVAL against Nick. When you find out in the story who he is you'll... you'll see why I balked.

also: almsot cracked the top 25 in "sales" Once we do that, Amazon will automatically promote the book on it's own, transferring into real "sales" in the coming weeks.
