ArJohn Report post Posted December 23, 2004 I hope you don't mind a bit of self-toot here. I have found, when you are starting out often you are the only one to blow the horn. WolfPointe is a psychological thriller with a dose of supernatural, just for added zip. It was a blast to write and if you are so inclined either ask for it at your library or purchase a copy nearly everywhere. Always willing to talk. And a second Malcolm MacKurghdy Mystery is in the works. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lulu Report post Posted December 23, 2004 Arjohn, Did you find it relatively easy to get the publishing of your book underway, or was it a long haul? Lulu Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ArJohn Report post Posted December 26, 2004 Whenever anyone asks this question I always answer, "Be ready for rejection." I don't think that answer can adequately get you ready for rejection. My advice is - go into selling Life Insurance. Once you get used to that rejection, literary rejection is easy. I wrote another novel first --- took years. I don't know how to type (well beyond 2 fingers) so the 224000 epic took while. Especially once I discovered it does not come off you fingers ready-to-read. You have to edit and change and mold and explain. As it turned out THAT was the easy part. I was bound and determined NOT to self publish, NOT to vanity publish and NOT to subsidy publish. I wanted a contract for royalty. My publisher was to pay all the expenses. That my friends take time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ade Report post Posted October 28, 2005 I came across the mention of this book on the site and thought it sounded interesting so bought myself a copy. I found it an engaging read, with a strong plotline and convincing characters. The creepy setting is used to good effect, with a new development of houses being built alongside the unpleasant swamp where something even more unpleasant lurks. The narrative is complex and the thriller element presents a range of likely motivations and levels of involvement. There's also a good measure of horror and any fans of Stephen King are bound to love this book. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
