I am
happy to announce that Tanglewood Road is in now being formatted for the Nook
and the Apple iPad. It should be available sometime in July or the first of
August. This means that Tanglewood Road can no longer be "borrowed"
for free on the Kindle if you have Amazon Prime.
Tanglewood
continues to beat The Possessor in sales, especially in The Untied Kingdom. As
an author, you can never assume which book people will buy. I much prefer The
Possessor to Tanglewood Road. But, what I like and what my audience likes may
be entirely different. I can understand
why Tanglewood would have an appeal over The Possessor in the United Kingdom.
It has a universal theme where The Possessor is regional in a small town in the
Midwest. Tanglewood Road could take place ten years ago or today. The Possessor
takes place in 1954.
My new
novel, The Peruvian Urn, is starting to come together. I hope to have the first
chapter on my web site soon. The first draft is such drudgery for me. The plot
is in place, but the characters are still not fully developed. Only after the
sixth draft do they finally reach their full potential because they continue to
develop their individual uniqueness. When it finally is finished, you feel as
if you’ve said goodbye to good
friends.
