First Draft of My 5th Novel Finished!!!
Sorry about the lack of posting- I've been on a run up to the finish of the first draft of my newest novel, "The Clearing at the End of the Path." I wrote the whole thing (@100,000 words) in a little over 4 months and I'm really happy with the way it turned out. So I guess I'll be spending another 60 bucks on stamps soon trying to find an agent smart enough to publish the thing. I've been thinking of dropping politics for a while and starting a new blog about how difficult it is to catch a break in the publishing world. The political world is so depressing right now my wife is yelling at me for being a bummer- so I guess I'll switch to something I at least have some control over and leave the political blogging to the Pros. (Or maybe not- one can never tell about these things.) I already know what the next book is going to be- it's a bit of a departure for me- but not really. I don't want to say to much about it becuase I'll invariably prove myself wrong.
Oh, the new book is about people who die and have their brains downloaded into a computer database where they can live indefinitly. I would call it metaphysical sci-fi but it has some strong thriller elements as well. It holds no relationship to the Matrix, no one (well almost no one) goes into the computer before they die- this book is more about our relationship to death, to mystery, and to each other. But it is also, as always, just a good story told to me by who or whatever tells the stories. I just work here.
