I spent the day writing two query letters. That’s right. Two. I absolutely hate writing these things. They are difficult for me to do and I would rather do anything else than write them. As a matter of fact I did. My day went a little bit like this: Sit at computer and open up [...]
A friend recently recommended is my website online to me and I thought I’d give it a go. So far, I’m liking it because I can get notifications immediately if something goes wrong and sort the problem out ASAP. If you have a bunch of websites, like I do, or servers it’s also handy because [...]
I really wanted a way for other people to keep up with what’s happening with the novel, as well as myself, and, since I don’t update things here often enough, I’ve gone and taken the plunge at Twitter. I’ve been trying to keep this place as professional as possible, but some people still want to [...]
You can now purchase a copy of The Gaven through Lulu.com. Although I have had mostly positive responses from the people who have read the novel via bittorrent, I have yet to receive even an inkling of interest from any literary agents. So, I am now offering an ebook and a paperback through Lulu.com. I [...]
I’m still busy plugging away on other things, which keep me busy this time of year. I also think that I’ve exhausted my resources in trying to find an agent in the United States. I’ve looked overseas, but, by and large, they also want someone who is native to that particular country. As it stands [...]
Sorry for the lack of updates lately. I’ve been finishing a lot of work at my job and then went on vacation for 15 days. It was nice to get away, but, now, it’s time to get back to the grinding job of sending out more queries to more agents who will send me even [...]
I’m not so good with doing screen captures, however, there have been, approximately, 50 people who have downloaded The Gaven in the last 10 days. These are the people that connected directly to me. I don’t have stats for those that connected to another peer and did not get the file from me.
Some time ago, I made a comment on reddit about my book. Some people have downloaded the book and commented on it. I also got a donation! Here is one comment that I received: I’m only on page 33, but I like what I’m reading so far. I really do. Good pacing, and a great [...]
I have finally made a torrent of The Gaven so that I can share it and give the novel a greater chance of being read by more people. It’s available at h33t and Demonoid at the moment. The Pirate Bay is having problems with their captcha at the moment, so I can’t upload it right [...]
I have been neglecting this website for quite some time. Since I last posted, I have had to move to another server. My friend, who still generously hosts the site for me, moved for business reasons and the move was quite a disaster. The site was up and down, sometimes 15-20 times in a single [...]
