Somewhere Over the Sun

I realize I have not given many updates about how my writing is going, so I figure it’s about time I do just that.

I’m happy to announce that I’m finally done with revisions on the third draft of my second novel, Bright and Blue. It’s been a fairly slow process because of all the other projects I’ve been working on, but now that it’s done, I’ll begin querying literary agents.

Somewhere Over the Sun sales and reviews have slowed down to a near-halt, but that’s to be expected, since my marketing efforts have also dropped quite a bit. Slash almost entirely. If any of you have read and enjoyed the book, I’d be eternally grateful if you posted a review on Amazon, B&N or Goodreads. Or just lent the book to a friend, maybe? 

Novel #3 is at around 46,000 words. 

How have you been, dear readers?

Add my book, Somewhere Over the Sun to your to-read shelf! I realized that things have slowed down a lot with my promotion of the book, so I’m going to do a giveaway. I’ll give away three copies!

Details are through Goodreads. 

(The giveaway is pending Goodreads approval, but should be up soon).

Just wanted to give a quick update, dear readers. I won’t have much of an online presence for the next week as I am busy being a master bed sheet salesman at a Christmas bazaar here in Mexico City. Kafka sold insurance, I sell bed sheets.

During downtime, I’ll be working on reaching my goal of 50 books read this year (only two to go!), as well as hand-writing a short story that, I regret to inform you, will not be going up on this site. I’ll be aiming to submit it to publications, which is just one more way I’m trying to become a well-known author. 

So, yes. You won’t be hearing much from me, so I wanted to take one more chance to remind you that, if you’re racking your brains for what to give as Christmas presents to friends, family, everyone you know, please consider giving a copy of Somewhere Over the Sun. It received honorable mention at this year’s Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards for Literary Fiction, has an average Amazon rating of 4.8 stars out of 5, and yadda, yadda, yadda. Or buy some bed sheets. 

My offer to send out postcards still stands. Just message me with your address and a one-word writing prompt.
