Bald is Beautiful

I received a message yesterday from my friend, Jo, in Texas. She is scheduled to have her head shaved next week. She has volunteered to do this in an effort to raise money for St. Baldrick's childhood cancer research. She has less than a week to go to reach her goal of $2000. So far, she has about $1100. I think it's an incredible thing she is doing.

I'm sharing this because I'm so impressed when people give this much of themselves. Although I'm not quite ready to have my head… Continue

Get in Line

So, I wrote the book, The Advocate. Then I rewrote the book. Then I rewrote the book again…and again…and again. I finally found a publisher willing to take a chance on me and guess what? She had me rewrite it again. But I’ve got to tell you, this process is great fun, every step more exciting than the one before. Look at that book cover….It’s gorgeous! And here is a description about the story. I’ll give you a minute to read it….…

It's Mind "Bloggling"

I recently signed a book contract with Echelon Press Publishing. My legal drama, The Advocate, will be released late this summer or early fall.

Since I now have a book contract for The Advocate, I was told I should start blogging. So this is my first attempt at this incredible new communication system. This stuff still boggles, or should I say "bloggles," my mind. But then I'm still amazed every time I fly, that those gigantic metal birds can stay up in the sky. I'm… Continue

Now you get to face the second hurdle... becoming "known."
I read that one of the twerps on an MTV reality show has a novel coming out. I'm happy for her, but if she weren't on that show with Heidi Montag (who ever) she would be as unknown as we are, and prayling for sales.
There are three major hurdles for a writer:
1. learning to write well, with something to say, in a new way (The Book)
2. breaking in (The Publishing Contract)
3. getting known (The Sales)

I'm contemplating a string of bank robberies to get my name in the news.
(But not seriously)

Blessings on your path,
Newt

I keep getting invitations to enter your comp for a free copy of your novel, The Advocate, but unfortunately as I live in the UK I don't think this will be possible. Thanks though for the thought.

How many pages does your book have? You said publishers are not willing to invest in a big book for a first time author.
