Have I mentioned that my devilishly handsome husband wrote a novel about nineteen months ago? Just in case you missed that post here is some of the background information. Chris has a great love of writing and he is even good at it. Several years ago Chris started writing a novel that would appeal to young men, specifically his middle school and high school students. He got about three chapters in and he lost direction. Fast forward to May of 2009 when a well known author visited the school that Chris teaches in. Once again, he was inspired but this time took the time to map out the entire novel. Before July 1st rolled around Chris had completed the first draft of his book. If I remember correctly, the manuscript was sent in to WriteLife publishing in October of 2009. There have been countless (well Chris knows exactly how many) revisions, many late nights and lots of uncertainty but now we are just 1 1/2 to 2 months away from having a published young adult novel in our hands. I for one, can not wait!
Now we are learning about publicity. Geesh! What do we do? How do we accomplish it? What can we expect? It's all a mystery to us but God knows the plans He has for us...for this book. We would love to have you visit Chris' new website. Click Here Feedback is much appreciated. You can subscribe to the site and certainly, tell all your friends about it. We will send out all updates through this site and THE NEW PHENOM3NON facebook fan page.
Thanks to so many of you who have offered encouragement along the way. We hope to have the opportunity to do many book signing events. If you are interested in having this friendly, handsome author come speak at your event please leave a comment on the website.
