Hi, Emanuel. Tried to comment on your blog, but I can't remember my Blogspot username or password...
Enjoyed the first few chapters!
What made you decide to post them on a blog? What were your goals with this? How did you arrange your contract to allow for this? Do you exchange ideas with other authors who use blogs for this purpose?
(Sorry for all the questions. This is a topic that interests me a lot!)
All the best. Be looking fwd to chapters 4 thru ?? when the book comes out. |

Hi Yvettep,
Thanks for reading the first few chapters. I decided to post them on a blog because 1) I wanted to create some interest and pre-publicity for the book, 2) Web space on a weblog is FREE and posting the chapters on my site would have cost me some serious change if I had my web designer do it.
I didn't exchange ideas with others authors about the book, but I did seek endorsements for the back cover. Delores Phillips (The Darkest Child) gave me a wonderful quote.
Contract? What's that? In hopes of proving my worth by selling as many copies as possible to sign with a larger publisher in the future, I am following the tradition of authors like Zane and publishing the book independently.
Chapters 4-31 (along with the rest of the book) will be available in all bookstores in times for Valentine's Day February, 2006 with a limited sneak peak edition available only through my site September 6th.
