Hello, Dear Friend!
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you are having a most excellent summer.
This past year, I've been writing a suspense novel.
It's based on a fascinating, real location, somewhere in the United States that most people have never heard of.
If you decide to give it a read, you'll be rewarded with a bit of mystery, romance, history, speculation, intrigue and sensory awakening. And you will impress your friends with your newly discovered ability to understand things that seemed indecipherable before.
The book is almost finished. I'm wrapping up the ending. Deciding whether to include a car chase scene or blow something up. Maybe both. Or neither.
Proofreading. Re-reading. Editing, editing, editing.
When I am satisfied with the final read-through, next comes finding and committing to a very special agent who is the conduit between author and publisher, business and literature. For a new author and seasoned agent, that's a bit like the stars aligning in a perfect universe, so wish me luck!
People in the industry say it takes 12-24 months to get published and printed after finding one's dream agent. Maybe Victor and I will be grandparents by then ;)
It has been a thrill for me to enter this world, create these characters, and live vicariously through them. I hope you find their story equally entertaining when it's finally available in print, digital, audio, or (gasp) the world's most popular medium.
Please come back to this website and visit. Future updates will include relevant photos, live readings, Q&A, book club suggested topics, trivia, plus links to the websites, documentaries, articles, maps, and materials that pulled me down more than one rabbit hole as I wrote this debut novel.
Thank you for checking in, for your support, encouragement and excitement.
Stay tuned!!!
