News: November 2013
November is traditionally a time to express one's thanks for the bounty of the year. I certainly have a lot to be thankful for in 2013: some of the great freelance opportunities I've received, my network of support and, of course, the pending publication of my first book, The Horse Thieves and Other Tales of the New West.
Things are moving forward on several fronts. Just a few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to work with Mathew Duman on my new author photo. Matt has taken all of my pictures to date and is an accomplished photographer and writer in his own right. Last year, he self-published a coffee table book titled An Education in the Grotesque that is getting a wonderful response from the local community and from Yale University, the subject of the book. You can learn more at YaleGargoyles.com.
This month, I also have an article about character development in the November issue of The Writer. The issue is on newsstands now, but you can read the article online HERE for free. If you've never read an issue of The Writer before, I highly recommend that writers of fiction, non-fiction and poetry check out a few issues for a lot of encouraging and insightful articles.
Finally, I'm continuing work on my latest manuscript, the sci-fi novel Abe Titterman and the Key to the Universe. I broke 30,000 words this month, which was a huge milestone for me. I hope you all have an opportunity to read it some day.
That's all for this month. Until next time, thanks for reading!
