Coming soon...
I'm polishing up an old novel. A generous friend just read the manuscript and pointed out inconsistencies and a few out-of-order scenes that I'm in the process of fixing. The story has been essentially complete since the 1990s and once had an agent but not a publisher. One small publisher did say he wanted it, then went out of business instead. After that, one thing led to another--you know how it goes--and for a long time I'd largely forgotten about the project. So I'm going to self-publish it soon. You could call it an ethnic murder mystery, since the protagonist is a Cambodian homicide cop. So whatever else readers might say about it, they're not likely to call it trite.

That's great, Bob!
Sorry you missed out on yesterday's blogfest. It was a blast.
I applaud your courage.

Good for you Bob. I've been working on a rewrite of my travel book and was getting nowhere and finally figured out I was taking it in the wrong direction and today I got back on track. 1,000 new words, finally.
I think you've got a great protagonist. Cant wait to see the final product.
I'm a huge mystery reader, so this sounds right up my alley -- keep us posted!
Looking forward to another Sanchez mystery
Best wishes for your ressurected manuscript!
...and I just want to say, I really enjoyed your short fiction page. Love the visuals on NOTHING THAT NEEDED EYES
Great endings, too!
Sounds like a good idea, Bob. Good luck with the project!
