Last year I completed two novels in short order. It was a slow year for me, as in the previous
two years I completed no less than twelve novels of varying lengths. It was a difficult year, though, for a
variety of reasons. Chances, the first
novel, never felt quite right to me so I decided to let it marinate for a bit
while I wrote another one. Love for Sale
was originally born from an idea for a still-unwritten novel—I simply took the plot
and twisted it on its end. The book was
written in a matter of weeks—I have this irrational fear that if I don’t write
quickly, I will lose both my inspiration and ideas. I submitted it to a large international book
contest where it was ultimately selected for the top twenty-five and then one
of the top ten finalists. My writing
received exposure like never before when the entire book was uploaded to its
own webpage. Unfortunately I didn’t win
the contest but I did edit the book and, several months later, I have a
complete manuscript packaged with a beautiful cover. The paperback is available now and the Kindle
edition is available for pre-order—it will be released on Valentine’s Day.
