Ebook published: I kept my deadline and published the ebook version of The Shaman on June 29. Everyone who has done a critical read says it’s a good story; I guess I’m getting better at this craft. You can find it here.
Lot’s of help: You don’t put out a novel without a support team. Not only your family, but others who help you refine your rough nugget into a polished gem. I had a number of friends do critical “alpha” and “beta” reads and they helped me to greatly improve the story.
Cancer interlude: I’m getting along in my recovery from cancer treatments. Some issues will take a year to a year and a half to go away, so I have to be patient. As I said earlier, “you don’t fight cancer without paying a price”.
Next book: I’ve started outlining my next Dan Stone adventure. This one will take place in Europe. It’s exciting to get back into the creative mode. After the initial draft of a story is completed, I turn into the editor-in-chief and spend hours critiquing the novel or reviewing other’s critical comments. That’s a different skill set, which, thankfully, I also enjoy. I can see the story getting more refined and polished as I go through it. But in the end, the best work is the writing. Stay tuned!
