News, news, news...

Well, not really, but hey, what the heck.

I've been a little sickly lately and before being sickly I totally forgot to blog about my website finally being on-line.
Yes, my website is finally operational. ;)

And for those who just happened to be up here for the first time, the template for this blog has also changed - quite a lot, actually. I pressed the save button only a few minutes ago and I'm quite proud of it all, since it's a Beta template I created.
Yoohoo!

That's it, I guess. Wow, how much news. Riiiiiiiiiight!

Take care, A x

Moonlight Phantom is released

Moonlight Phantom Moonlight Phantom

In the city that never sleeps, a new threat is dawning. In the shadow of the full moon a phantom is lurking, waiting for its prey. No one knows its name, no one has ever seen its face, everybody fears this ghost in the moonlight. Its past is shrouded in mystery, its purpose is unclear.

The urban legend tells that in the nights of the full moon the phantom brings justice to the righteous and swift retribution to the wicked, making its presence known when it is already too late...

While a man struggles to discover the reason and the culprits for the death of the woman he loved and lost, the phantom will strive to keep him alive, guarding over him from the shadows of the night, trying to keep its secrets and past buried.

Will the phantom reveal what hides behind its actions? Will it finally reveal the face hidden away from the silvery moonlight?

We're almost there

I finally ordered the proof copy of my first book, so I guess if I like the whole thing the book will be available for purchase pretty soon. I'm so excited!!!
I'm pretty satisfied with how the cover turned out, too and I can't wait to see it printed. I'm getting this insane urge to start jumping up and down, but I'm afraid the neighbors might call the loony-bin. God forbid.

I'm leaving you with a sneak peek into what the book is about. Take care.

Maybe... Just maybe

Yes!!!

I finally heard back from a publisher regarding a short story Love... Delayed. The chief editor for their contemporary romance department contacted me, asking for a copy of the manuscript. Now I'm forced into another period of waiting and hoping and keeping my fingers crossed.

In other news: my first book is coming out later this month. It's the first story I wrote back in 2003 and I decided to publish the print version with CreateSpace and the e-book with Lulu. I'll see how it goes - especially with this "new" POD publisher. It's also a novella length story, so I didn't want to put it in print in a larger format.

I have all intentions of publishing the full-length novel sometime in the beginning of 2008 and hopefully it'll attract some other publisher. I won't give up, don't worry.

Deep sigh

Okay, so I'm not particularly interesting for publishers. It happens. Only yesterday I received another negative reply from a digital publisher saying my work didn't grab them.

After a while it all gets a little tiring and mixed with a busy work schedule, even busier personal and social life, along with a huge dose of writer's block, I sometimes get this irresistible urge to just send everything straight to hell, move to Mauritius or something like that and forget about writing.

But then I get the possibility of visiting the island of Capri (that's in Italy for those of you geographically challenged) and the whole deal with the vista of the rocks reaching out from the sea (where they supposedly filmed a Bond flick - I don't know which one), combined with a hefty amount of my crazed imagination - it was a pretty hot day! - and BAM I'm back on track.

So I guess I'll just get down to business, make a kick-ass cover and upload my book on Lulu. Maybe in a few weeks you guys will be able to see it on Amazon somewhere. Wouldn't that be nice? ^^
