News From the Author

Writers work and work into the dark of night in their hideaways to create the perfect story, the perfect book, and then they are buffeted about like rooftops and electric lines in Katrina in their attempts to find a traditional publisher with enough clout to get the word out about the book. BUT . . . sometimes the dream happens.

Someone with muscle, marketing ideas, a marketing budget and a national sales network falls in love with the writer’s story and decides to help that writer make a dent on the reading world. It’s happened for Catcher, Caught. I’m sworn to secrecy with an international publisher (under a non-disclosure agreement) and had the offer outlined by an enthusiastic Acquisitions Editor. The only other thing I can tell you is watch out in 2010. This is the real deal. Details when they’ve okayed it, probably February or March. Here’s a possible new first line for 15 year old Daniel’s (Of course I’ve edited since the Amazon award, what writer could resist.):  “You can drown in a bathtub. In two inches of water, everyone knows that.”
