What are you working on?

Let's orient ourselves, find out who's working on what.I'm writing my third novel, a story about a farmer/veteran trying to keep his family safe and fed during a dustbowl and other such cataclysms. It's something of a threequel, but I like to think (probably inaccurately) that each book stands on its own. I'm about 33,000 words into it, or 75 pages, singlespaced. It's surprisingly dialogue-heavy.See More

I was selected as 1 of 500 quarterfinalists out of an initial 10,000 entrants. I need the help of you (and everyone I know) to download my excerpt, and, if you are able, write a quick review of it and spread the word.My novel, Long Way Home, is about two best friends, David and Red, who drop out of high school to join…See More

Most Influential Book

Name the book that has most influenced you--in whatever way you so describe-- whether that book be fiction, poetry, architecture, comic, or what have you. It could be a book on Persian rugs. I just want to know about it. This influence could be what made you love to read, or hate to read, or what pushed you to write or into some particular career. My leanings are distinctly literary, but I wanted to push this out of the book club to see where the question took others.I can't answer this…See More

Getting ready for publishing and being published are definitely half the battle at least. I have a friend who has written several novels and she is still working on getting them out there as well.

Good luck to you!
