The Story of the Manuscript, Part 1: Is It Cursed?

Over the next couple weeks, I'll be sharing the story of the manuscript for States of Mercy (not the story IN the manuscript, mind you--you have to buy the book for that). Here's today's installment:

THE STORY OF THE MANUSCRIPT, PART 1: IS IT CURSED?

I have, at times, believed it was. It has had a profound effect on my life. Many of you have heard me say this: although everyone else called me a poet, I always considered myself a novelist. When I say this, it should clear that up. STATES OF MERCY was the 13th novel that I wrote. By comparison, for those of you that have read A SONG WITHOUT A MELODY, that was my 5th. That's a lot of novels and a lot of years of my life.

Is it cursed because it was #13? Probably not. That's just a coincidence. Why then? Tune in in the coming days for more details.
